Rusnak Takes Most of Hendee's Chips; Eliminates Him Shortly After

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the turn with almost 700,000 chips in the middle the board read {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Paul Hendee checked and Francis Rusnak instantly moved all-in for 177,000 and Hendee snap-called.

Francis Rusnak: {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Paul Hendee: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Rusnak had flopped a straight, but Hendee still had a flush draw. Unfortunately for Hendee the river was a brick when the {q-Diamonds} landed and Rusnak had a massive double up, leaving Hendee with just over 60,000 chips.

A few hands later, all the chips went in the middle preflop and it was Hendee against Rusnak again, this time Hendee was the one at risk for 61,000.

Paul Hendee: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Francis Rusnak: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} giving Rusnak two pair, finishing off Hendee and sending him to the payout desk.
