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

Paul Hoefer

Paul Hoefer opened from under the gun and Eric Hicks defended his big blind. On the {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop, Hicks checked, Hoefer bet 90,000, Hicks check-raised all in and Hoefer called all in for 825,000.

Paul Hoefer: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Eric Hicks: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Hicks needed an ace or ten to scoop up the nearly 2 million chip pot but neither the {3-Spades} turn nor {7-Diamonds} river provided it, leaving him with 250,000.
