Aces Get Hoffman Double
Seng Yang limped from the hijack before Jedidiah Hoffman raised to 4,000 from the cutoff. Jeffrey Cho wanted more chips in the pot and chose to three-bet all-in for approximately 35,000. Yang folded, but Hoffman wasted no time making the call as he was at risk for 14,300 total.
Jedidiah Hoffman: A♦A♥
Jeffrey Cho: J♦J♣
Hoffman had a dominant lead to start, but the flop turned that upside down when it came 4♥6♥J♥ to give Cho a set of jacks. Hoffman was far from drawing dead as he held the only heart for a live flush draw.
The turn was a red card, but the wrong suit when it came to the 8♦ to keep Cho in the lead.
Hoffman's ace of hearts would prove his savior when the 10♥ peeled on the river to improve Hoffman to a flush and grant him the double-up.
