Breyfogle saw a safe enough flop 2♥3♥7♦, but the dreaded 5♥ turn gave Hendrickson plenty of outs, and the A♣ river was one of them.
During Level 22 (8,000/16,000/2,000), Hendrickson got his last 233,000 in preflop against Todd 'sharkslayerr' Breyfogle with the A♦K♥ against the 10♠10♣. Seventy-eight players hit the felt on Day 2, and Hendrickson found himself at risk and nearly out the door shortly after the money bubble burst. The tournament was one of the lengthier affairs in recent memory, stretching over nearly 17 hours on Day 2, testing both the skills and the stamina of the participants. Hendrickson defeated a field of 430 runners.
'DQ' Dan Hendrickson, a regular and a 'huge supporter' of the Mid-States Poker Tour, according to founder Bryan Mileski, took down the MSPT Canterbury Park Main Event for $106,182, by far the biggest win on his tournament résumé. It had to be more satisfying than even one of the Buster Bars sold at one of his Dairy Queen locations.
