Hoffman Unable to Hold
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Rajat Paliwal opened to 55,000 from the hijack before Jed Hoffman shoved for his remaining 95,00 from the small blind. Paliwal called to put Hoffman at risk.
Jed Hoffman: A♦K♥
Rajat Paliwal: A♦J♥
Hoffman was poised for a double, and the flop caused them to trade their kickers for outs when it came 10♠4♦Q♦.
Hoffman would chuckle when the K♠ hit the turn to give Paliwal the nut straight and have Hoffman drawing to a chop with one card to go.
The 3♦ was the final card Hoffman would see as he was eliminated from contention.
