Hoffman Given Gifts and Chips

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jed Hoffman who finished seventh in Event 14 $1500 No-Limit Hold'em was involved in two nice pots that saw his stack grow exponentially.

The first one he raised to 725 in middle position. A shorter stacked player with a bit over 4,000 pushed all in from the button. The blinds folded and Hoffman took sometime but made the call.

Hoffman: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Opponent:{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} and Hoffman was given a major gift as his opponent's weak holding did not win.

The very next hand Hoffman raised it up again to 650. This time his opponent on the button called him. The two took a flop of {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Hoffman bet out 1,125 and his opponent called. The turn came the {5-Hearts} and this time Hoffman checked. Hoffman's opponent bet out 1,900. Hoffman grabbed more than calling chips as he made a raise to 5,200. Hoffman's opponent made the call and they took a river of the {a-Clubs}. Both players checked and they flipped up their cards. Hoffman {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} made two pair and that took down the nice pot.

With both pots Hoffman bumped up to 28,000.
