Hendrix and Spragg Double Up in Back to Back Hands
Adam Hendrix opened to 2,000 from middle position and the big blind defended.
The flop came 6♠9♥8♠. The big blind checked, Hendrix fired a continuation bet of 2,000 and the big blind moved all in, covering Hendrix's remaining stack of approximately 7,500. Hendrix quickly made the call to put himself at risk.
Big Blind: K♠J♠
Adam Hendrix: A♥A♣
Hendrix was ahead with his pocket aces but the big blind was very live with a king-high flush draw. The board ran out 8♣6♦ and Hendrix secured a much-needed double up.
The very next hand at the same table, Benjamin Spragg, best known as "Spraggy" online, moved all in from the hijack for his last 7,500 and received a call from the small blind, putting Spragg at risk.
Benjamin Spragg: A♥K♠
Small Blind: A♦8♥
Spragg was ahead with a bigger ace but the J♦9♦10♣ flop gave his opponent several more outs. The 10♠ turn and K♥ river were clean for Spragg and he secured the second double up at his table over two consecutive hands.
