Hendrix Chopped into Day 3
In the last hand of the day, chip lead Timur Margolin raised to 2,100,000 from the small blind and Adam Hendrix effectively moved all in, leaving two 500,000 chips behind. Margolin shoved all in, forcing Hendrix into the tank. After hearing an "all in and a call" from the other table, Hendrix threw in his last two chips and the players flipped their cards.
Adam Hendrix: 6♥6♦
Timur Margolin: 9♣9♦
The flop came 5♠10♠2♠ and Hendrix needed to improve to stay in the tournament.
The 9♠ came on the turn, which gave Margolin a set of nines, but some hope for Hendrix of a chop.
The dealer peeled the A♠ river, bringing in the flush on the board for the chop. Hendrix was saved and advanced to the nine-handed feature table on Day 3 thanks to a player busting at the other table.
