Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The biggest hand of the tournament so far just played out vaulting Jeffrey Hobrecker into the chip lead and sending Adam Suraf to the rail.
Suraf raised under the gun and Hobrecker three bet. Suraf called with 
and when the flop came 
with two hearts, he got it all in against Hobrecker's pocket queens.
Neither a king nor a heart fell on the turn or the river and Hobrecker held, pushing his stack up to 140,000.

Triple Barrel
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.
