Hoefer Heads Home
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Maxim Lykov opened to 160,000 from the hijack and Martin Jacobson three-bet to 425,000 on the button. Paul Hoefer tanked before moving all in from the small blind for 2,100,000. Lykov made a quick call, and Jacobson mucked, leaving the pair to go to showdown with Hoefer at risk.
Paul Hoefer: A♥Q♥
Maxim Lykov: A♠K♠
Hoefer was looking for a queen but the 2♠K♥6♣ flop saw Lykov pick up top pair. The Q♠ was turned giving Hoefer a small chance of staying in the tournament if he could find another on the river. The rail were calling for a "Queen-Queen" but he missed on the A♣ completer and was eliminated in 17th place ($27,310)
