Mugar Doubles Through Hendrix
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With three players seeing a board of K♦Q♠8♠ and around 12,000 in the middle, Guan Huang checked from the big blind and Stephen Mugar checked from the hijack. Adam Hendrix bet 4,000 from the cutoff and Huang called before Mugar moved all in for 20,500. Huang got out of the way before Hendrix called with a covering stack to put Mugar at risk.
Stephen Mugar: 8♥8♣ 
Adam Hendrix: A♠10♠
Mugar had flopped bottom set but Hendrix had plenty of outs in the form of a gutshot and the nut-flush draw. The 4♣ turn was a brick and the 4♠ river improved Mugar to a full house to double up through Hendrix.
Shortly after this hand Huang was eliminated.
