Hillman Climbing

The gentleman under the gun opened the pot to 1,500, and Aaron Kanter called two seats over. From the big blind, Grant Hillman stuck in a three-bet to 4,800 total, and the initial raiser moved all in for 22,675. That quickly folded Kanter, but Hillman was facing a big decision. The call represented about half his stack, and he tanked for a minute or so before saying something along the lines of, "I'm not good enough to fold this," as he plunked in the call.

Showdown
Hillman: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

The flop was a disaster for the all-in player as it came {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} to pull Hillman into a huge lead with two to come. The {5-Diamonds} turn ended any drama right there, eliminating another player and moving Hillman up into big-stack territory. He appears to be the chip leader in the room right now, stacking up a pile of just less than 70,000 chips.
