Heading for the Hills

Hilly's Main Event adventure has come to an end

A despondent Steve Hill saw his ParadisePoker Tour dreams come to an end in the last few minutes as despite entering the day on the average stack, he came off the worse for a duel with one player.

Hilly the Fish - as he is known through his work for Poker Player magazine - had won the key battles on Day 1 despite admitting to being on the outskirts of much of the action.

Each time he had entered a pot, he had almost always come out with a stack enhancing outcome, including a big call with TPMK for half of his chips and a number of short stack eliminations.

Day 2 was far less kind, as having opened with AK Hill called a shove and found himself a big favourite vs AQ,  only for a river Queen to rob him of most of his chips.

His nemesis was not done there, however, as a shove with 10s a short time later earned a call from the same villain, whose QQ then proceeded to hold up.

Steve will be writing about his experiences on the PPT in an upcoming edition of Poker Player magazine, so be sure to order a copy if you can get your hands on one.
