Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cesar Garcia opened in the cutoff and Adam Hendrix defended in the big blind.

Hendrix checked on the flop of 10♥Q♠8♣ and Garcia continued with a bet. Hendrix called. Hendrix checked again on the 2♦ turn and Garcia moved all in to bring a quick call from Hendrix, who had the effective stack.

Adam Hendrix: Q♥8♥ All in
Cesar Garcia: A♣J♠

Hendrix had laid the trap with two pair and had his opponent drawing to just eight outs. But the energy drained from the table as the dealer put down the K♣ river, giving Garcia Broadway to deliver a crushing beat to the American poker pro.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action got to Dario Pieruzzini in the small blind, who limped in. Matthew McEwan was in the big blind and raised to 30,000, then Pieruzzini shoved around 200,000. McEwan quickly called.

Matthew McEwan: A♠J♦

Pieruzzini was way behind, but did find some chop outs on the Q♥Q♠6♠ flop. A K♦ on the turn added a few more ways to stay alive for Pieruzzini, but the 3♦ on the river meant he was out-kicked, which ended his run.
