Early Aggression from Hille
2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel just took his seat. He's positioned a couple of spots to the right of Elisabeth Hille who made a deep run in the WSOP Main Event herself last summer when she finished 11th.
Duhamel was just getting situated when he opened with a raise to 250 on the button. The player sitting between him and Hille then reraised to 625 from the small blind, prompting a four-bet by Hille to 1,650. Duhamel considered for just a moment before dropping out, but the small blind called.
The flop came monotone — — and Hille's opponent quickly checked. She took only a few seconds before firing 2,000, and her opponent called. The turn brought the and another hasty check from Hille's opponent. This time she carved out a bet of 5,100, and after considering for 15 seconds or so her opponent folded.
"Too early," he said during the post-hand conversation. "Too early in the morning or too early in the tournament?" asked a player with a grin from across the table.
No answer came. Meanwhile, Hille adds a few to her starting stack.
