Action picked on a board showing K♥4♠J♥ and two players, including Kyle Hoffner, at risk with all-in bets.
A player who covered both opponents made the call, and the cards were tabled.
Kyle Hoffner: 4♥4♣
Opponent 1: Qx10x
Opponent 2: K♠J♣
While Hoffner flopped bottom set, he had to dodge quite a few cards to the river. One opponent, who Hoffner covered, flopped an open-ended straight draw, while the player who put both at risk had top two pair.
The dealer placed 3♥ on the turn, keeping Hoffner in the lead.
The 4♦ on the river gave Hoffner, who began the hand with a little more than 19,000,000, the win and a massive reward.
