It's All Down-Hille for Saeed

In the last hand of Level 27, Greg Merson opened for 125,000 only to have Elisabeth Hille three-bet to 300,000. Omar Saeed then woke up with a four-bet to 635,000, Merson got out of the way, and Hille moved all in. Saeed called off for 2,445,000 total and the cards were turned up:

Showdown

Hille{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Saeed{Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

"Yes," Saeed said somewhat quietly when the flop came down a safe {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The {10-Clubs} turn left Hille wanting an ace on the river, but she would not get it as the harmless {5-Clubs} peeled off.
