Hendrix Kings Hold to Double

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

All of the chips got in the middle preflop and Adam Hendrix was at risk for his 23,200 against Gediminas Uselis and both hands were tabled.

Gediminas Uselis: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Adam Hendrix: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Hendrix Kings were in the lead and he managed to fade an ace on the {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and the {5-Spades} on the turn changed nothing. The {j-Spades} landed on the river improving Uselis to a pair of jacks but it was no good against Hendrix's pair of kings.

Jeremy Joseph
Jeremy Joseph

The action folded around to Jeremy Joseph in the small blind who put in a stack of 5,000 chips as he announced all-in. Hieu Dang took a few seconds before calling off his remaining stack of roughly 24,000.

Hieu Dang: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}
Jeremy Joseph: {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Joseph was ahead with his ace-high but the flop {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} gave Dang a flush draw to go along with his live cards. The turn was no help though when the {4-Clubs} landed and the {5-Clubs} on the river meant Dang was eliminated from the tournament.
