888poker Ambassadors Lovgren and Hof Double

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Sofia Lovgren
Sofia Lovgren

Both Sofia Lovgren and Natalie Hof had been nursing short stacks for quite some time today and scored double-ups just before being moved out of the Pavilion and into the Amazon room. Fellow 888poker ambassador Nicolau Villa-Lobos also bumped up his stack and will be on the move soon, as just nine tables remain.

Lovgren got into a heads-up pot against Yehuda Cohen and checked the river of a board {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} from middle position. There was 24,000 in the pot and Yehuda Cohen bet 6,300 before facing the check-raise all in by Lovgren. Cohen asked for a count and the shove was for 33,400 in total.

"Sofia, Sofia. Do you have a full house?" Cohen asked and took another 20 seconds before calling. Lovgren replied, "No, quads," and rolled over {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. There were some players on the table joking, "Oh, just quads," while Lovgren raked in the pot with a smile on her face.

One table over, Hof was also at risk. After a raise to 2,300 and a three-bet to 6,000 by the cutoff, Hof shoved from the button for her last 21,700. The initial raiser folded and the cutoff snap-called with {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Hof was in desperate shape with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}, but got there with trips kings thanks to a board of {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Spades}.

"Teach me how to do it," Greg Mueller joked to her in German and Hof grinned back and said, "Just get it in with the worse hand."
