Alarcon Celebrates After Hendrix Elimination
Level 10
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Eladio Alarcon opened to 2,000 in the hijack and was called by the cutoff and Xuan Liu in the small blind. Adam Hendrix three-bet shoved all in for 21,400 in the big blind. Alarcon thought for a minute before calling while the other two players folded.
Adam Hendrix: 
Eladio Alarcon: 
The flop came 
and Alarcon still held the lead with the better kicker to go with the pair of nines. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river sent Hendrix to the rail.
"Yes!" Alarcon shouted as he banged his fist on the table and rose from his seat. Alarcon has doubled his starting stack but still a long way to go before any money is earned.
