Adam Hendrix Wins Poker Masters Title and $192,400 in Las Vegas

Adam Hendrix emerged victorious in event 4 of the 2022 Poker Masters in Las Vegas, taking home the $192,400 top prize after a heads-up victory over Nate Silver.

Seventy-four entries came in at $10k apiece for the third No Limit Hold’em tournament of the 10-event series playing out in the PokerGO studios at the Aria casino. That meant 11 paid spots and Chris Lee was the unlucky one to miss out on the bubble, getting it in with a big ace and pairing it on the flop, but that was the end of the good news... Chris Lee: A♣ J♥ Rodney Turvin: K♠ K♦ Flop: K♣ 3♠ A♥ Turn: 10♦ River: 8♣

Xuan Liu and Victoria Livschitz vying to become the first-ever female winner at a Poker Masters final table. Liu struck first, cracking Erik Seidel’s pocket jacks with a timely flopped ace, and then Ed Sebesta departed in 5th spot, his 7s losing out to Silver’s kings. Liu and Livschitz then crossed swords... Liu: A♥ Q♦ Livschitz: A♠ K♥ Flop: 2♦ Q♠ 10♥ Turn: 10♣ River: 8♠ ♠ ♣ ♦ ♥ Livschitz was out in 4th for $74k, but Liu was unable to take her chips any further, falling to Hendrix but pocketing $96,200 for an excellent showing. Heads-up between Hendrix and Silver was a good battle, but Silver could never quite get back on level terms and eventually found himself all-in and hoping for his draw to hit... Silver: 7♥ 4♥ Hendrix: A♣ 9♣ Flop: 8♦ 9♥ 6♠ Turn: 9♠ ...but when the river failed to bring a 10 or 5... River: 2♥ ...it was all over, Hendrix taking the Poker Masters trophy and $192,400 top prize.
