Hendrix Wishes he Bricked

Kirk Brown

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up turn of 6♦7♣A♣K♣, Adam Hendrix led out for 9,000 and Andre Sa thought for a few seconds before he made the call to go to the river 10♠.

Hendrix then thought about it for a second before sliding out a large bet of 21,000 but it was quickly called by Sa.

Hendrix then proudly flipped over Q♣J♠ for hitting a gutshot straight on the river but that feeling quickly turned sour as Sa flipped over 4♣6♣ for a turned flush to take the large pot.

Jeremy Geist

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise from early position to 1,500. Action then folded to Matt Vaughan on the button who called and Leo Worthington-Leese called from the small blind.

The 4♥6♣3♣ flop hit the felt and action checked to the original raiser. He put out a bet of 2,800 and both Vaughan and Worthington-Leese called.

The turn brought a 7♣ and the action slowed down and checked through.

The K♠ landed on the river and Worthington-Leese only took a moment before opting to lead out for 5,100. The original raiser folded and action was on Vaughan who looked to be considering a call but ultimately thought better of it and mucked.

Worthington-Leese grabbed a nice pot late in Day 1 to give himself a healthy stack.
