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.
