Event #1, Flight A - Laurie Hilton Wins MONSTER pot to Increase Chip Lead
 |
| Laurie Hilton |
Level: 18
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 500
Players Remaining: 20
Avg. Chip Stack: 151,000
After a preflop raising war, Laurie Hilton and a player to her right are all in. Hilton holds K♥K♠ in the big blind and her opponent in the small blind holds A♥A♣.
Hilton is at risk until the flop comes K♦Q♥5♦, giving her a set of kings. A very excited Hilton leaps out of her chair in excitement. The J♣ turn and 2♣ river are safe for Hilton, and she will double up.
Hilton has a total of 240,000, and after a very close count of her opponent's similar stack, it's determined that the player in the small blind is eliminated from play as Hilton's chiplead is increased even further.
