David Hoffenberg Eliminated in 10th Place ($29,006)
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
David Hoffenberg came to the unofficial final table with just 600,000 chips, less than four big blinds. He had only 200,000 chips or just over a big blind left on his last hand. He went all in from early position. Play folded to Juha Helppi in the small blind, who called. Eoghan O'Dea also called. They went three-way to the flop with Hoffenberg already all in.
The flop was Q♣Q♦9♣. Both Helppi and O'Dea checked. The same action repeated on the 8♥ turn.
The river was the J♠. Helppi checked again, but O'Dea bet 300,000. Helppi folded.
It was time to show down the hands and O'Dea then turned over 10♦3♠ for the rivered straight. Hoffenberg was visibly disappointed and eventually showed the table K♠Q♠ for flopped trips.
