Palacios Faces an Up-Hille Battle

A raising war resulted in Bolivar Palacios being all in preflop for 27,950 with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and up against the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} of Elisabeth Hille, who if you recall finished in 11th place this summer in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.

It was a classic flip, but Palacios was the one at risk and in need of some help. The {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop was just what he had in mind as it paired his ace and gave him the lead, but he wasn't too thrilled about the {4-Hearts} turn as it gave Hille a flush draw. Lucky for Palacios, the {8-Diamonds} blanked on the river and he doubled to nearly 60,000.
