Hoffman's Failed Trap Nets Sarnoff Almost Eight Million
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ben Sarnoff opened from under the gun to 85,000 and was called by Luca Dal Cerro in early position, Wilbern Hoffman in the hijack, and Miguel Capriles in the cutoff.
The flop came 
and Sarnoff continued for 200,000. Dal Cerro folded but Hoffman raised to 600,000. Capriles folded and Sarnoff over-bet jammed. Hoffman called off for over two million more.
Wilbern Hoffman: 
Ben Sarnoff: 
Hoffman let out an audible "fuck!" after Sarnoff tabled his two pair, with his planned trap with pocket queens having massively backfired.
The 
turn was no help and neither was the 
river, which meant Hoffman's massive stack was now in the hands of the Day 2 chip leader.
