$235 NO-Limit Hold’em Kickoff
Level 21: 10,000/20,000 and a 3,000 ante
Players Remaining: 8 of 209
Jed Hoffman raises to 40,000 from the cutoff and Lance Donnell moves all in for 82,000 out of the big blind. Hoffman calls. Hoffman shows [Kd][8d] and is dominated by Donnell’s [Kc][Qs].
The flop is [Js][9s][6s], moving Donnell further into the lead, but the [8c] comes on the turn, giving Hoffman the best hand. Donnell still has a lot of outs – any spade, 10 or queen would keep him in the tournament, but the [2h] comes on the river and Donnell hits the rail in ninth place.
Donnell picks up $550 for his deep run.
Jed Hoffman – 365,000
Lance Donnell – Eliminated
