Event #1A - Laurie Hilton Doubles Up

Level: 10
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 100

Remaining Players: 117

There is nearly 20,000 in the middle, and the board reads 4322♠. Laurie Hilton is first to act in middle position and she moves all of her chips forward. The player in the hijack asks for a count, and upon hearing the 28,900 total, she goes into the tank. Over three full minutes pass before the hijack says lightly, "Ok, I call." None of the players or the dealer can hear her and so that dealer asks her to confirm. "I am all in," the hijack says slightly louder this time.

Hilton turns over QQ♠ and the hijack pauses for nearly thirty seconds before turning over 66♠.

The J river is safe for Hilton and she doubles up. 

Laurie Hilton - 80,000
