Billy Spadea vs. Philip Hilm

Billy Spadea
Billy Spadea
At the Featured Table, Philip Hilm limps from the small blind for 80,000, and Billy Spadea checks his option. The flop comes {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and there is a surprisingly subdued reaction from the crowd. (Final table crowds usually ooh and aah at flops like this.) Hilm bets 110,000, and Spadea calls.

The turn card is the {4-Clubs}, and both players check. The river card is the {3-Hearts}, Hilm checks, Spadea bets 200,000, and Hilm calls.

Spadea shows {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a full house, tens full of threes, and Hilm mucks. Billy Spadea wins the pot.

"Clock on Table 3!"

Bill Edler raised to 250,000 from late position, John Armbrust called from the cutoff, Roy Winson raised to 900,000 from the small blind, Edler folded, and Armbrust moved all in for 5.3 million.

Winston went into the tank for so long the clock was called on him, but he eventually mucked his hand. One of Winston's friends on the rail was so incensed that the clock was called that he muttered something nasty to the table and stormed off.

After the hand, Winston was down to 3.2 million while Armbrust crossed the 7 million mark.

The turn card is the {A-Spades}, and both players check. The river card is the {4-Clubs}, Spadea bets 1,000,000, and Freeman thinks for about 30 seconds before he calls. Spadea shows {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a rivered full house, fours full of fives, and Freeman mucks. Billy Spadea wins the pot worth 4.2 million.

Philip Hilm

He has one WSOP cash, from a 2005 NLHE event, but has done very well for himself on the European Poker Tour, where he finished 4th in the 2006 Scandinavian Open in Copenhagen, and 15th in the 2007 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo.

Hilm is part of a team of Danish poker players sponsored by 1623Poker.com, a "Fantastic Four" if you will, that includes Lars Bonding, Mads Andersen, and Christian Togsverd, who was eliminated from the Main Event earlier today in 33rd place.
