Sam Hill Eliminated in 13th Place (NZ$8,679)

Sam Hill - 13th Place
Sam Hill - 13th Place
Sam Hill opened from under the gun by moving all in for his last 38,000 chips. Ben Butcher made the call in the small blind as did Gerome Guitteau in the big blind.

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Butcher led out for 25,000 with Guitteau sighing before tossing out a call. The turn was the {3-Spades} and Butcher checked, before quickly calling the 60,000-chip bet from Guitteau as a big side pot was brewing.

The river was a repeat {3-Clubs} and Butcher checked to Guitteau who immediately moved all in. Butcher released what he said was {K-?}{Q-?} as Guitteau flipped {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the flopped full house! Meanwhile Hill tabled his {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} which had been cracked to see him depart in 13th place.
