Back-to-Back Hands Send Hecklen Out the Door

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

It was a quick slide for Henrik Hecklen, just two hands in fact.

In the first there was around 10,000 in the pot and a board reading {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} when Hecklen checked and Joni Jouhkimainen moved all in for 14,000. Hecklen thought for awhile before calling, but mucked when Jouhkimainen rolled over the {4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

In the very next hand, Hecklen was in the small blind and got in a raising war with Alex Bilokur in the big. Hecklen wound up all in preflop for 21,600 and was racing against Bilokur.

Hecklen: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Bilokur: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop was gin for Hecklen as he flopped a pair and a flush draw, but just as he was getting comfortable the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}. Bilokur hit his two outer to retake the lead, which he maintained when the {A-Hearts} blanked on the river.

A seemingly upset Hecklen huffed it out of the tournament room while Bilokur raked in the pot.
