Hoffman Eliminates Damasco in Dramatic Hand
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rommel Damasco had just doubled up earlier and put his stack in again for 830,000 on the button with an all-in. Jedidiah Hoffman made the call out of the small blind to put Damasco at risk.
Rommel Damasco: 10♦8♦
Jedidiah Hoffman: A♣10♣
Damasco was well behind as Hoffman appeared poised to eliminate Damasco, but the flop was as good as Damasco could hope for when it came J♦9♠Q♣ to give Damasco a straight.
Hoffman was searching for a chop, but the turn instead produced the J♣ to give Hoffman a flush draw.
Damasco would be dismayed on the river when the 5♣ peeled to give Hoffman a runner-runner flush to knock out Damasco in dramatic fashion.
