Natalie "888NatalieH" Hof Eliminated in 157th Place

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Natalie "888NatalieH" Hof
Natalie "888NatalieH" Hof

888poker Ambassador Natalie "888NatalieH" Hof was just eliminated in 157th place. Her stack was down to slightly more than four big blinds when she went all in from late position with {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Trusjustus raised her bet to 27,772 from the small blind with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and then called an all-in shove of 86,194 by djknockout from the big blind with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

Hof appeared for awhile to be set for a much-needed triple-up after the {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades} appeared on the flop and the {9-Spades} appeared on the turn. However, she was eliminated after the {A-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, while djknockout doubled up to more than 200,000.

Chris "888Moorman" Moorman is now the last 888poker Ambassador left in the field with a stack of 192,364.
