Hoffman Holds, Stays Alive

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ryan Hoffman went all in for his last 3,475 and Shane Raikes called. The player in seat 10 reshoved all in and the action folded back to Raikes. Raikes seemed to have a tough decision on his hands, as he counted out his chips and tried to work out his next move. Eventually, Raikes folded.

"I've been waiting patiently for a good hand," said Hoffman as he turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and then stood up, expecting to be eliminated. His opponent showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and had Hoffman covered. The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Hoffman doubled up, allowing him to sit back down. He still has some work to do, since he has onlt 10,200 chips, but winning this all in was a good start.
