Christina Hill Claims First Ring in Event #7: $400 H.O.R.S.E
Level 14
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Las Vegas.
In Event #7: $400 H.O.R.S.E, 120 runners created a $39,600 prize pool that was paid out to the top 18 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Adam Dembowski (10th- $915), Jeffrey Neeman (11th - $784), Haresh Thaker (12th - $784), Andrew Suszczyk (14th - $696), Michael Pope (16th - $641) and Jason Seitz (18th - $615).
In the end, it was Texas native Christina Hill who collected every chip in play to capture her first ring along with a $10,956 payday.
Hill started Day 2 in the middle of the pack with 20 players remaining. She said she played tight, which is a little different than her normal game. It paid off and helped her reach the final table. She was short-stacked throughout much of the final table. When she got heads up against Ryan Caskey, she was the short stack.
Then things changed, "I got on an incredible rush. He had me out chipped big time," said Hill.
The stud games came up in the rotation and Hill said she was hit by the deck hard, which resulted in a quick heads up battle leaving Hill as the final competitor standing. Caskey's runner-up prize amounted to $6,765.
"I don't think I made any mistakes today," said Hill. "I'm proud of that."
"I love when there are mixed games tournaments because they are not around that often,” said Hill. “I take any opportunity I can to play in those and try to get better."
This marked Hill's second career World Series of Poker cash. Her first was in 2009 at the Caesar's Palace Circuit in a No-Limit Hold'em event.
