An Absolute Pile
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Koler, Nicholas Hoffman, and Jay Bloom were all in preflop with a big sweat, as all players had similar chip stacks. Hoffman was the covering stack with only 10,000 more than Bloom to start the hand.
Michael Koler: 9♠9♦
Jay Bloom: Q♥Q♣
Nicholas Hoffman: A♣K♥
Bloom let out a cheer when the flop came J♠Q♠4♠ but Koler was hoping for a spade and Hoffman needed an off suit ten.
Bloom's set of queens held when the K♣ and 6♥ peeled off the deck, awarding him a massive triple up.
Hoffman was seen busting just a few hands later, as he had been left with less than a big blind.
