Plaza, Hjulstroem Next to Fall
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eliot Hudon raised to 50,000 under the gun, then called when Jose Plaza moved all in for around 300,000 in the big blind.
Jose Plaza: A?10?
Eliot Hudon: K?K?
Hudon hit top set on the 9?5?K? flop, and Plaza was already drawing dead following the 4? turn as he went around the table exchanging fist bumps with his tablemates while the dealer exposed the 8? river.
At the same time at another table, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 90,000 on a board of 2?K?J?K? and Linus Hjulstroem called in the cutoff. The river was the 2? and Ponakovs, on the button, moved all in.
Hjulstroem had 220,000 remaining and burned through several time banks before calling. Ponakovs then showed A?J? for two pair and Hjulstroem instantly mucked his cards on his way to the exit.
