Event 4: Renner Cripples Hill

Hill, seen here with more than 2,000.

A player limped in under the gun, and action folded to Thomas Hill's small blind. He raised to 30,000, and Robert Renner pushed all in from the big blind. The limper folded, Hill called.

Hill: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Renner: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The flop was worst-case scenario for Hill: {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Renner now had him freerolled with the low locked up. The turn brought a {j-Spades}, and some extra outs for Hill. A {2-Clubs} river ended that hope, and he's down to 2,000 while Renner has around 230,000.
