Hoffman Makes a Set for Knockout
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Randy Marker opened from the hijack to 75,000. The cutoff, Wilbern Hoffman, reraised to 275,000. The small blind made the call moving all in to do so. Marker got out of the way, and it was time for showdown. "I hope you have jacks," the small blind said as the pair tabled their hands.
Small blind: 
Wilbern Hoffman: 
"Oh, even worse," the small blind said upon seeing Hoffman's pocket fours. The small blind was behind, but seemed to catch a break on the flop, as the 
appeared in the window, but those hopes were quickly dashed as the full 
flop was spread out, giving Hoffman a set.
