Christina Hill raised pre-draw and Mike Lang called on the button before Jake Schwartz re-raised all in from the big blind. Hill pushed her stack forward and Lang quickly got out of the way.
Both players took one, with Schwartz showing 
and Hill . Schwartz pulled a king and Hill needed to improve.
"This is the one I've been hiding," Hill said as her last card slid under the rail of the table. She turned over a queen and secured the double-up for 160,000, leaving last year's runner-up on a short stack. Schwartz later said he broke a ten and would've won the pot if he stood pat.
