Hosbach on a Heater
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Scott Hosbach was already the chipleader in the room but with his most recent pot, has extended that lead quite significantly. Hosbach got an opponent to commit their stack on the flop of a 
board. Hosbach was patiently waiting with a pocket pair of kings and his opponent showed up with two queens. Hosbach faded the turn and river to bust yet another player from the Main Event.
