Paul Hoefer Eliminated in 35th Place by Ronald Haverkamp ($14,400)

Level 20: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Paul Hoefer

Paul Hoefer is moved over to table three to balance the shrinking field but his fate is sealed soon thereafter. Hoefer defends the big blind against an open raise by Ronald Haverkamp and check-raises the K♦ J♣ T♠ flop off a short stack, then jams the 8♦ turn.

Haverkamp snap-calls with A♣ Q♦ for the flopped broadway straight and Hoefer is drawing dead with the K♠ 9♦ for top pair to make the 9♥ river a formality.

Two in a Row for Sho Homma

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

Sho Homma

"I should have gone all-in preflop," Paul Hoefer sighs when he bet-folds the river for nearly half his stack and is left on fewer than 20 big blinds. He then adds it was a three-bet pot on which the board shows A♦ 9♦ 3♥ T♣ K♠ . Hoefer bets 190,000 and Sho Homma jams to force a fold from his table neighbour, with Homma exposing the Q♠ .

In the next hand, Jhon Hendri jams for 171,000 and Homma calls with the 7♠ 7♥. Hendri laughs as he exposes the dominated 2♥ 2♣ , which fails to improve on the Q♦ T♦ 4♦ 4♥ 3♥ board.

Big Double for Paul Hoefer Against Artem Vezhenkov

Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Paul Hoefer

Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov arrives at his new table with two racks and a stack worth nearly seven figures. Paul Hoefer then raises to 10,000 only for Vezhenkov to three-bet big to 40,000. The four-bet shove by Hoefer follows and Vezhenkov calls with the A♠ Q♠ .

Hoefer is in trouble with A♥ J♥ but improves on every street equity wise on the Q♥ T♠ 4♥ K♣ 8♥ runout. The double is for 247,500 and that puts quite a dent into Vezhenkov's stack.

"Of course I know who he is, otherwise I would not have done it," Hoefer clarifies.
