Hille Gets the Monkey Off Her Back

Will "Monkey" Souther got his stack of 500,000 in good preflop with {K-Hearts}{K-} and was up against the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} of Elisabeth Hille. Unfortunately for Souther, the flop fell {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to give his opponent a set, though he did pick up a flush draw. The {J-Spades} turn was of no consequence, while the {10-Diamonds} river improved Hille to quads.

Souther walked around the table, shook hands with Hill, and wished her good luck before making his way to the payout desk.
