Jason Hoffman Eliminated in 42nd Place ($250,000)
Jason James opened to 600,000 from middle position and was called by Luis Vazquez on the button. Jason Hoffman then three-bet to 2,200,000 out of the small blind only to see James four-bet to 14,225,000. Vazquez got out of the way but Hoffman called off for less to put himself at risk.
Jason Hoffman: K♠K♥
Jason James: 9♠9♥
Hoffman was in excellent position to score a full double, that is until the flop came 9♣Q♣A♥. The A♠ turn did give him some additional outs, though he was unable to connect on the J♠ river to send a huge pot to James while forcing Hoffman out in 42nd place courtesy of a bad beat.
