Paul H Sends Field to Five Tables

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player in early position opened to 3,600 only to see Paul H three-bet to 9,000 in late position. The player on the button four-bet shoved for 31,000 forcing the early position player to fold but Paul H went into the tank. A brief back and forth between the two must have given Paul H some good information as he made the right call.

Paul H: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

A {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop quickly put Paul h behind but a very welcoming {a-Hearts} on the turn gave him back the lead and it held through the {6-Hearts} on the river.

With the elimination, the field dipped to 50 players breaking them into five tables.
