Hofman Cracks Corsi's Aces to Double Up
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With 15,000 in the pot, Thomas Hofmann, Pietro Corsi, and Antal Hamza went to a flop of Q♦K♥7♥. Hofman then bet 7,300 from middle position, which Corsi called in the cutoff.
Hamza folded on the button, after which Hofmann quickly moved all in for 12,600 on the 2♦ turn. Corsi snap-called with the covering stack, and the cards were tabled.
Thomas Hofmann: K♠Q♥ 
Pietro Corsi: A♥A♦
Hofmann had flopped two pair, which remained the best hand on the 10♣ river. He doubled up to nearly two starting stacks, overtaking Corsi in the counts.
