Palacios Faces an Up-Hille Battle

A raising war resulted in Bolivar Palacios being all in preflop for 27,950 with and up against the
of Elisabeth Hille, who if you recall finished in 11th place this summer in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.
It was a classic flip, but Palacios was the one at risk and in need of some help. The flop was just what he had in mind as it paired his ace and gave him the lead, but he wasn't too thrilled about the
turn as it gave Hille a flush draw. Lucky for Palacios, the
blanked on the river and he doubled to nearly 60,000.
