Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stoyan Obreshkov: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Paul Hoefer: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Obreshkov was in good shape to double as he had his opponent dominated and he kept the lead after the flop came {4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades}. However, the {k-Diamonds} on the turn gave Hoefer Broadway to send the Bulgarian to the rail.
