Hendri Scores a Knockout
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A shorter stack was flipping with the 8♠8♦ and Jhon Hendri looked them up with the A♦J♥. The two overcards hit on the A♣J♦6♣ flop and no help arrived on the 9♠ turn nor 9♣ river.
One table over, Thijs Hilberts lost a duel of short stacks when his A♣8♣ hit the flop versus ace-jack but running cards to a straight appeared. The Dutchman was one of several recent casualties with now just 80 players still remaining.
