Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Jack McClelland in the small blind and a player in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠8♦5♥, McClelland went all in for roughly 450,000, Hendrix called and the small blind folded.

Jack McClelland: 6♥6♠ All in
Adam Hendrix: 8♣8♥

The 7♣ turn and Q♣ river did not give McClelland the help he needed. McClelland was the last hall of fame bounty claimed in Event #95. It was quite an impressive run for the former poker tournament director and cardroom manager. Everyone in the room with the possible exception of Hendrix was sad to see him head to the payout desk.
