Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Naixuan Shi started the action with an open to 12,000 from early position. Trang Huynh called from the next seat over before Jamin Stokes came along with a call from the small blind.
David Hochheim chose to go all-in for 137,000 total from the big blind. This elicited folds from Shi and Huynh, but Stokes had no plans of folding as he made the call to put Hochheim at risk.
David Hochheim: K♣J♥
Jamin Stokes: J♦J♣
Stokes had Hochheim in a rough spot with five cards to come, but Hochheim still had the overcard working for him.
That proved to be immaterial after the Q♦J♠3♣ flop came to give Stokes a set.
The 6♣ turn sealed the deal in favor of Stokes, making the 2♥ procedural as Hochheim exited the tournament.
