Hensley's Slide Continues

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Rick Hensley has had a tough hour-and-a-half thus far today. He began with over 400,000 chips and a large chip lead with 201 players left. But now he sits with less than 55,000 and a below average stack.

After losing a huge 300,000-plus chip pot to Larry Gurney after running into the latter's pocket aces, Hensley was just now limping in from early position, then watching Fernando Tobal raise to 15,000 from a seat over.

Hensley called the bet, then when the flop came {4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{K-Hearts} he checked. Tobal continued and Hensley folded, and Tobal showed Hensley his hand — he'd run into {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} again.

On the next hand, Hensley raised and it folded around to Gurney in the blinds. "You would call," said Gurney of Hensley with a grin before folding, and Hensley showed his {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} to gather a few chips back.
