Falling Down Hills

Just before the break, Tanya Hill was eliminated from the tournament by an unknown opponent. All of the money went in preflop, Hill's with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} and her opponent's with pocket queens. Both players hit the {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} flop hard, as Hill made the nut flush and her opponent, top set. Unfortunately for Hill, the turn and river brought running eights giving her opponent a full boat, which subsequently sealed her fate.
