Olivier Busquet

James Hughes raises under the gun to 11,000, Freddy Deeb calls from the small blind, and Season VIII WPT Borgata Poker Open champion Olivier Busquet (pictured) moves all in from the big blind for 80,500. Hughes moves all in over the top, and Deeb folds.

Busquet turns over Diamond JClub J, and needs his hand to hold to stay alive against the Club ASpade K of Hughes.

The board comes Club QDiamond 5Diamond 2Diamond KClub 6 — Hughes pairs his king on the turn as Busquet picks up a diamond flush draw, and the river card is a blank. Hughes wins the pot with a pair of kings to eliminate Busquet from the tournament.
