Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Short-stacked and sitting on {J-Spades}{10-Spades}, Jeffrey Hagen open-shoved from under the gun, putting his last 330,000 at risk. A call by Joe Kuether put Hagen up against {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, and the two player's waited for the flop to reveal their fate.

When the first three cards came {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, fate seemed to be on Kuether's side, but the {5-Spades} showed just how fickle fate can be when it comes to poker. Hagen's supporters on the rail called for spades, and the {8-Spades} answered their prayers.

Shouts of "Bingo!" filled the air behind Hagen, who stood and made his own exclamations, with a popular breakfast item blurted out in the excitement. This drew some chuckles from the rail, but Hagen retook his seat with focus etched across his face, oblivious to the laughter.
