Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jeffery Hobrecker just widened the gap between himself and the rest of the field, busting Emilio Zeolla in the process.
Hobrecker ran what appeared to be a triple barrel bluff, betting all three streets on a 
board. He even went as far as shoving on the river, sheepishly turning over 
when Zeolla called all in for his tournament life in an attempt to pick him off.
Zeolla showed 
and a lot of guts, but his pair of threes was not enough of a hand to keep him in the tournament.

Jeff Joseph just collected another players stack turning
