Phillip Hilm Triples Up

Phillip Hilm
Phillip Hilm
After falling all the way down to just 3,625 in chips, Phillip Hilm reraised all in from the small blind for his whole stack. He got action from the under-the-gun player who had opened for a raise, as well as from the small blind. The big blind player bet on the turn, prompting a fold from the initial raiser.

The big blind flipped up {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} but that was no match for Hilm's {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. The {J-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} {2-Spades} board helped neither player and Hilm tripled up to just over 11,000.
