Hils Finds a Timely Double Up Before Dinner Break
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Matthew Hils opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Joey Hiudt called from the hijack. George Janssen three-bet to 200,000 on the button and Hils pushed all in for 590,000. Hiudt got out of the way and Janssen asked for a count before making the call.
Matthew Hils: 
George Janssen: 
Janssen had the preflop lead but the flop of 
paired the jack for Hils. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river changed nothing as Hils scored a double up.
At the completion of that hand, the final 16 players went on a 60-minute dinner break.
