The Philip Hilm Comeback

Philip Hilm has been Scotty Nguyen's nemesis today, moving all in over the top of his raises several times. Finally, Scotty went all in on a flush draw and missed, finishing in 11th place.

Philip is from Denmark and lives in England. He has been a poker pro for the last several years and was introduced to the poker world by his high school buddy Jan Bloxham. A professional backgammon player who turned to poker, Jan opened up a whole new world for Philip. They went to Frederiksburg High School together (High School is actually called "Gymnasium" in Denmark).

Philip is single, handsome, and about to become a big star. No player from Denmark has come this far at the Big Dance. His friend Jan is here supporting him from the audience. With only one more elimination to go before we have our final table of nine, Philip is in a great position to make it with 19.3 million in chips currently in his stack. He started the day at 9,950,000 only to drop down to between 3-4 million for most of the afternoon. What a comeback he has made!
