During a round of Hold’em, Phil Hui raised from the button to 40,000, and Christina Hill called from the big blind.

The flop came 9s7c3c, Hill checked, Hui bet 20,000, and Hill check-raised to 40,000. Hui called.

The turn card was the 7s, Hill bet 40,000, and Hui called.

The river card was the Ks, Hill bet 40,000, Hui raised to 80,000, and Hill folded. Hui took the pot, and Hill was knocked down to less than two big bets.

Phil Hui  –  740,000  (19 BB)
Christina Hill  –  59,000  (<2 BB)


The next hand, Hill folded her small blind, dropping down to 49,000 in chips.

Christina Hill  –  49,000  (~1 BB)


The next hand, Hill raised from the button to 40,000, Phil Hui called form the small blind, and Lazaro Rodriguez called from the big blind.

The flop came Ah7c6d, and it checked to Hill, who moved all in for 9,000. Hui called, and Rodriguez raised to 20,000. Hui folded.

Hill showed Js10c for jack high, and she needed to catch something runner-runner to stay alive against Rodriguez’s Ad7s (two pair, aces and sevens).

The turn card was the Ks, giving Hill outs to a gutshot straight, but the river card was the 10d. Rodriguez won the pot with his two pair to eliminate Hill in third place.

Lazaro Rodriguez  –  590,000  (15 BB)
Christina Hill  –  Eliminated in 3rd Place  ($5,475)
