Vang Sends Hoffman to the Cage
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jacqueline Burkhart got the hand started with a raise to 25,000 from early position. Paul Vang opted to re-raise to 125,000 from the button, and faced the all-in of Jedidiah Hoffman from the big blind. Hoffman's all-in pushed Burkhart out, but Vang quickly called to put Hoffman at risk.
Jedidiah Hoffman: Q♠Q♦
Paul Vang: A♣K♦
Hoffman needed to hold to stay in the tournament, but the flop brought bad news as it fanned out 10♣K♠8♥ to put Vang in the lead.
The A♦ turn gave Vang two pair, and the 8♣ river sealed the deal in favor of Vang as Hoffman was sent to the payout desk.
