Plaza, Hjulstroem Next to Fall
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eliot Hudon raised to 50,000 under the gun, then called when Jose Plaza moved all in for around 300,000 in the big blind.
Jose Plaza: A♦10♦
Eliot Hudon: K♠K♥
Hudon hit top set on the 9♦5♠K♣ flop, and Plaza was already drawing dead following the 4♠ turn as he went around the table exchanging fist bumps with his tablemates while the dealer exposed the 8♥ river.
At the same time at another table, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 90,000 on a board of 2♦K♦J♥K♣ and Linus Hjulstroem called in the cutoff. The river was the 2♠ and Ponakovs, on the button, moved all in.
Hjulstroem had 220,000 remaining and burned through several time banks before calling. Ponakovs then showed A♥J♣ for two pair and Hjulstroem instantly mucked his cards on his way to the exit.
