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 
he checked. Tobal continued and Hensley folded, and Tobal showed Hensley his hand — he'd run into 
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 
to gather a few chips back.
