Hammerstrom Thins the Field
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player in the hijack moved all in for 31,000, Nicholas Hammerstrom reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
All-In Player: K♣Q♠
Nicholas Hammerstrom: A♠J♣
Hammerstrom hit top pair on the J♠5♣2♠ flop, then improved to two pair on the A♣ turn. The at-risk player was looking to complete a straight draw on the river to stay alive, but he missed the 6♠ and was sent to the rail.
