Hoffmann Takes from Kazhdan
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
On a board reading 
Simon Hoffmann bet 50,000 using two of the shiny new 25-000 value pink chips which have been brought into play at the previous break.
His opponent Igor Kazhdan had improved from his overnight stack during the first three levels, and was looking to make a move up the leaderboard now that less than 90 players remain.
Kazhdan thought over his decision for a while before calling. Hoffmann showed 
and Kazhdan sighed, flinging one-by-one the then the 
across the table, and then counting out the chips to pay Hoffmann. At the end of all that, Kazhdan is back to where he started the day with 190,000 in chips and Hoffmann moves over 600,000, nearly double what he started the day with.
