Roger Hendren Eliminated in 7th Place ($29,818)
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Action folded to Roger Hendren in the cutoff, who moved all in for his stack of 6,000,000. Joey Couden, the chip leader, also moved all in from the button. When action got to the big blind, he saw an ace first, and then peeled the second card, showing the whole table as he did it, eventually revealing a ten, and folding.
Roger Hendren: A♦K♦ 
Joey Couden: A♣10♣
A great situation for Hendren, especially now he knew that one of his opponents' immediate outs had been folded.
Nevertheless, the deck favoured Couden. The flop came 4♦4♣10♠, giving him the lead.
The turn 4♥ improved Couden to a full house, but did give Hendren an extra out to chop the pot.
Alas, it wasn't to be. The river 9♦ sealed Hendren's fate, and he headed toward the exit.
