Phillip Hilm Sends a Player Home

We caught up to this hand on the flop. With the board reading {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, Phillip Hilm bet 1,100 from late position and got a call from his opponent in the cutoff seat.

The turn came the {8-Diamonds} and Hilm checked. The cutoff moved all in and Hilm made the call. The players showed:

Hilm: {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

Hilm had his opponent drawing dead and the {7-Spades} on the river was meaningless. After the hand, Hilm is up to about 54,000 chips.
