Ryan Hoenig Eliminated in 2nd Place ($369,972)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Hassan Kamel limped the button and Ryan Hoenig raised to 300,000 for the commanding chip leader to call.
The flop came 9♣8♠4♦ and Hoenig bet the pot for 700,000 with 200,000 behind. Kamel mulled it over for half a minute and raised as Hoenig called all-in.
Ryan Hoenig: A♣K♦9♦4♠
Hassan Kamel: J♥6♦5♠4♣
"You are in good shape," Hoenig said when the cards were exposed. That shape improved a ton with the 7♦ turn as Kamel hit a low and straight. Hoenig needed diamonds, nine or four to chop but bricked the 7♠ river to bow out in second place for $369,972.
