Joseph Hoffman Eliminated in 5th Place ($1,735)

It ended up being no harm, no foul for Craig Carrillo, as he would bust Joseph Hoffman on the next hand. The two players got in a raising war that saw the chips get into the middle preflop.

Carrillo: [Ah][Ac][Jc][8h]
Hoffman: [As][Qs][4d][3s]

The case ace came on the flop of [Ad][Kc][6h], meaning that Hoffman was looking for a low card to chop the pot. However, two face cards came instead, the [Jd] and [Kc], giving Carrillo a monster pot, and the chop lead.

Craig Carrillo - 380,000
Joseph Hoffman - Out
