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 |   |
| Saeed |   |
"Yes," Saeed said somewhat quietly when the flop came down a safe 
. The 
turn left Hille wanting an ace on the river, but she would not get it as the harmless 
peeled off.
