Hoffman Stays in Contention
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan Wang got the hand started with a raise to 10,000 from the hijack. Wang was called by Daniel Burgess on the button before Jedidiah Hoffman decided to go all-in for 53,500 from the small blind. Wang exited the hand, and Burgess gave it some thought before he called to put Hoffman at risk.
Jedidiah Hoffman: A♣J♣
Daniel Burgess: K♠Q♠
It was a coin flip between Hoffman and Burgess as Hoffman held the slight edge.
Hoffman's chances at success grew after the flop fanned out 5♥5♦9♣. The 4♠ turn and the 6♠ river were safe for Hoffman as he doubled up at the expense of Burgess.
