Ball Sends Hochman to the Payout Desk
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
John Richards had 40,000 across the line before Scott Ball raised to 100,000 next to act. The action folded around to Corey Hochman and he jammed for 176,000. Richards got out of the way, and Ball made the call.
Corey Hochman: A♣A♥Q♦6♦ 
Scott Ball: J♣10♣10♦9♦
The K♦Q♠2♠ flop gave Ball a wrap but Hochman's aces were still in the lead. The 8♥ hit the turn changing nothing, but the A♦ river wasn't what Hockman needed as Ball made Broadway.
