Hobrecker Spikes Straight To Send Spears Spinning

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Nice guy Andy Spears didn't exactly finish last, but he is finished, getting his aces cracked in a massive chip-lead pot versus Jeff Hobrecker.

Hobrecker had two jacks and made the miracle runner-runner flush to push up near 600,000 in chips and into the lead. Spears went home to roll around on a bed full of $100 bills and forget today even happened.

In the meantime, Hobrecker's looking to make it a memorable one, having solved the first half of the get lucky-play good winning equation.

Coming up next on Hobrecker's radar should be WSOP bracelet winner Michael Malm, who bluffed someone off kings to push up to 400,000 and was just moved two to his left.
