Hosbach Doubles

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Day 1b chip leader Scott Hosbach was on the verge of elimination moments ago but the poker gods had other plans. After Lawrence Schumacher limped from the cutoff, Hosbach moved all in for around 250,000 from the button. David Kelly called from the big blind and Shumacher released.

Kelly: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Hosbach: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Kelly was in great shape shape to send Hosbach home; that is until the dealer rolled out a {3-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop.

"Oh my god," said Kelly. "You've got to be kidding me."

The {5-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river kept Hosbach in front and he escaped elimination. Kelly vented his frustration after the hand, which Hosbach did not respond well to, but things have since quieted down at Table 1. High tension here as the final table approaches.
