Hendrix and Spragg Double Up in Back to Back Hands
Adam Hendrix opened to 2,000 from middle position and the big blind defended.
The flop came 6?9?8?. The big blind checked, Hendrix fired a continuation bet of 2,000 and the big blind moved all in, covering Hendrix's remaining stack of approximately 7,500. Hendrix quickly made the call to put himself at risk.
Big Blind: K?J?
Adam Hendrix: A?A?
Hendrix was ahead with his pocket aces but the big blind was very live with a king-high flush draw. The board ran out 8?6? and Hendrix secured a much-needed double up.
The very next hand at the same table, Benjamin Spragg, best known as "Spraggy" online, moved all in from the hijack for his last 7,500 and received a call from the small blind, putting Spragg at risk.
Benjamin Spragg: A?K?
Small Blind: A?8?
Spragg was ahead with a bigger ace but the J?9?10? flop gave his opponent several more outs. The 10? turn and K? river were clean for Spragg and he secured the second double up at his table over two consecutive hands.
