Brian Hacker Eliminated in 22nd Place ($12,209)

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Brian Hacker
Brian Hacker

Lawrence Brandt raised to 150,000 on the button and Brian Hacker called, with less than a few big blinds behind.

The flop rolled off Q♥8♦5♥ and Hacker put the rest of his chips at risk, Brandt obliged.

Brian Hacker: K♠Q♦7♦6♥3♥ All in
Lawrence Brandt: 8♥7♥7♠5♠5♦

Brandt flopped a set and when the 8♠ rolled off he improved to a full house, making the Q♣ that fell on the river a needle to Hacker,

Hacker's destiny might have been different if a big hand before the redraw had gone differently.
