Hopper Sends Two Out

Alex Liu opened under the gun to 350k, leaving just a 5k chip behind. Trent Hopper shoved a bigger stack next to act. It folded around to Gregory Wood in the big blind, and he called with less, while Liu tossed in his final 5k.

Both Liu and Wood were playing ace-nine, but they were dominated by Hopper’s ace-queen of spades. Liu and Wood flopped open-ended, but Hopper turned his queen on the board of 7♠6♦8♠Q♣2♦ and held to send them both to the cash cage.
