Hoffman Wakes Up with Pocket Rockets; Perez Cracks Them
Fred Perez opened for 40,000 and received a call from the player on the button. Todd Hoffman then moved all in from the small blind for 289,000. Perez gave it some thought before calling off for 276,000, and the button folded 
.
Perez: 
Hoffman: 
Hoffman was cheerful for a moment and chatting with the table, but the 
flop changed his attitude. Suddenly he went from a huge favorite to an underdog as Perez flopped a set. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Hoffman, and he was left with just 13,000 after the hand.
He was eliminated one hand later in 53rd place.
