Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Adam Hendrix was the next Gold Chest winner, but was still playing a hand so there was a small wait before he headed to the main stage to pull his prize which ended up being a $25,000.

Hendrix then headed back to his table to play the next hand — his button — but was interrupted by the next Gold Chest prize announcement, which was also for Hendrix!

He headed back with his back-to-back pulls and this time pulled one of the last two $100,000 prizes remaining. Not a bad couple of minutes for Hendrix!
