David Hilton Doubles Up

It seemed only a matter of time before David Hilton wound up all in. We have been watching him be ground down by the relentless aggression of Dong-bin Han. It finally happened.

Hilton opened for 100,000, then shoved all in for about 1.2 million after Han re-raised to 400,000. Han tanked for about two minutes before announcing a call!

Hilton: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Han: {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs}

Han's adventurous call left him in a bad spot, as his king-nine was dominated by Hilton's ace-king. Nobody improved on a board of {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, allowing Hilton to double up to 2.4 million. He's back in the game.

Han Back to Chipping Away

Fresh off doubling David Hilton up, Dong-bin Han is back to his successful formula, chipping away at his opponent.

Preflop, Hilton opened to 50,000 and Han called. The flop came {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Han check-called a 105,000 chip bet from Hilton.

Both players checked the {3-Hearts} turn and moved to the {6-Hearts} river. On the river Han bet 350,000 and Hilton folded.

Han Starts Rebuilding

After that double-up for David Hilton, it's back to business as usual, with Dong-bin Han winning every pot of significance. Most recently, Hilton opened for 100,000 and Han called. Both players checked a {10-Spades} {J-Spades} {A-Hearts} flop. On the turn {3-Hearts}, Han checked again. Hilton fired out 135,000, then called when Han raised to 335,000.

That took the two players to the river {Q-Spades}. Again Han checked. Hilton took the opportunity to bet 400,000. It took Han a minute before he called with {3-Clubs} {3-Spades}, a set of threes. Hilton showed {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts} for a busted draw that made a pair of queens on the river, not good enough to win the pot.
