Hennigan Shows Hastings a Straight
Level 18
Limit Hold'em
Brian Hastings was heads-up from the small blind against John Hennigan in the big blind on a 5♣6♠10♣ flop. Hennigan raised a bet from Hastings and Hastings called.
Hastings checked to Hennigan on the 8♣ turn and he bet. Hastings then check-raised and Henngan called.
The A♠ completed the board and Hennigan called a final bet from Hastings, who showed 8♥8♠ for a set. It was no good, however, against the 9♥7♠ of Hennigan for a straight.
"I thought that was a good turn," Hastings said as Hennigan collected the pot.
