Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Adam Hendrix
Adam Hendrix

Henrik Hecklen limped in from middle position and Adam Hendrix raised in the big blind. Hecklen then announced a pot-sized raise and Hendrix moved all-in with around 275,000.

Adam Hendrix: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Henrik Hecklen: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Hendrix's queens were dominated by the kings Hecklen, though Hendrix picked up outs when he paired his eight on the {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop.

Hendrix pushed his six toward the board in an effort to summon a six, but it didn't come on the {2-Hearts} turn. However, the river brought the {q-Spades} to improve Hendrix to a set and he doubled up to stay alive.

Right before the break, Dan Cates was in a three-way pot against Shaun Deeb and Adam Hendrix on a flop of {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Cates stared at the board stoically as a masseuse rubbed his forehead, temples and cheek bones before throwing out a bet of 25,000. Deeb folded and Hendrix called.

Cates checked on the {10-Spades} turn and Hendrix checked back. Cates, still getting his face handled by the masseuse, took a few seconds before betting 125,000. Hendrix folded.
