Rough Fold For Hendriks

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Alex Hendriks, a local player from Maastricht, has played poker tournaments all around the world but shining on the WPT podium in his backyard would of course be the ultimately reward for his hard work.

So far Hendriks' day is not looking up, as he lost a decent portion of his stack in a situation that could've been very profitable.

The player under the gun raised and from his direct left a player three-bet, after which it was Hendrik's turn. Hendriks looked down at two jacks and opted to call, after which three players saw the flop when the initial raiser called as well.

The flop brought {9-}{10-}{J-} and the under-the-gun player lead out for 2,000, his neighbor raised it up to 7,000 and Hendriks folded his top set. The initial raiser called and the turn was another {J-}, which would've given Hendriks quads.

The player under the gun lead for 10,000 on the turn and the player on his left folded his kings face up. The player who took the hand down showed {K-}{Q-} for a flopped straight, and Hendriks was left behind thinking 'what if?'.
