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.

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