Henson Gets Paid by Opponent "Four Times Better" Than Him
Following a limp from Drake Roetker in the hijack, Ray Henson raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Roetker called and then checked dark.
After the dealer spread a flop of 9♥3♦2♠, Henson quickly bet 3,000 and Roetker called.
The duo then checked the A♦, leading to the K♥ falling on the river.
After a final check from Roetker, Henson bet 10,000, sending Roetker into the tank.
Roetker said he thought he had the best hand and revealed the A♥, which prompted a question of whether he was folding to which Roetker replied, "not yet, I'm trying to get a read."
Henson replied, "but you will be," and shortly after, Roetker tossed in a call.
Henson turned over his A♠K♣K♠7♥ for a rivered set of kings and the winner.
Despite the loss, Roetker asked "for the record" that it be known that he's "four times the player" that Henson is "with twice the amount of chips".
Which seems like poker math if there ever was an occasion of it.
