Hill Puts Opponent To The Test

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Mike “Da Bookie” Hill has been around the poker scene for many years and can often be found in some of the lower buy-in tournaments on the circuit in England, but every year me makes the pilgrimage to Vegas to show he can still mix it up with some of the younger generations in higher buy in events.

Hill called a raise of 4,400 from one of the younger players at his table and they went to a heads up flop of {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}. Hill faced a continuation bet of 5,300 and sat quietly behind his blacked out wrap around shades for a few moments before announcing he was all in.

Hill’s opponent was at a loss, clearly not anticipating the bet size of over 40,000. He shook his head at the situation he was in and threw his cards away. One of the other players complimented Hill on the move, “Great bet no matter what.”
