Ryan Hoenig
Ryan Hoenig has won three trophies so far this series, but he fell short of a record-breaking fourth trophy today.

During Omaha-8, with the board showing 5s3s2dJd on the turn, and each player having bet 32K each so far, Kristan Lord bet 16,000 from the big blind, and Ryan Hoenig called from the hijack.

The river card was the Ah, Lord bet 16,000, and Hoenig tanked for a long time with only 28K behind.

At one point, Hoenig said, “I don’t know if the river saved me, or …” and he trailed off.

Hoenig eventually folded, and Lord took the pot.

Kristan Lord  –  296,000  (19 BB)
Ryan Hoenig  –  28,000  (2 BB)

A few hands later (still in Omaha-8), Hoenig was all in under the gun for 15,000 against Seong Hong (big blind) and Sam Spira (cutoff). Any further betting would create a side pot.

The flop came Js9c4d, Hong bet 8,000, and Spira called.

The turn card paired the board with the Jc, and both players checked. The river card was the 10d, and they checked again.

Seong Hong:  QhQc10s3c  (two pair, queens and jacks)
Sam Spira:  AdKd6h4h  (two pair, jacks and fours)
Ryan Hoenig:  8h6d3d2h  (eight high)

With no possible lows, Hong won the entire pot with his pocket queens to eliminate Hoenig in seventh place.

Seong Hong  –  370,000  (23 BB)
Sam Spira  –  270,000  (17 BB)
Ryan Hoenig  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($2,315)

With six players remaining, the average chip stack is around 265,000 (17 Big Bets). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $3,085 each.
