Two Hands Bring Bojang Back
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We walked up to Ismael Bojang's table as he was all in for his tournament life against Emil Patel. Patel looked far from happy as he would be knocked down to 68,000 in case he lost.
Patel:
Bojang:
The board ran out 
and Bojang doubled up leaving Patel very short. A few hands later Hendrik Latz moved all in from the small blind for right around 60,000 and Bojang called from the big blinds.
Bojang: 
Latz: 
The board ran out 
and Latz was eliminated. Bojang is close to average again after being very short just a few hands ago.
