Henson Chips Up With a Knockout
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action was heads up with around 5,000 in the middle and 5♣9♠4♠9♣ on the board when Marcus Schilling check-called a 2,000 bet from Ray Henson. The river was 10♣ and Schilling checked again, this time to see Henson bet 10,000. Schilling went into the tank for a few moments before he thought better of it and gave up the pot.
On the next hand, Henson bet 1,600 and a player in the big blind called. The flop was 8♣K♥2♥ and Henson's opponent check-called a bet of 1,000 to see 6♣ on the turn. Henson's opponent checked again and then shoved when the RGPS Ambassador tossed out 3,800. Henson looked him up and turned over 5♥4♥ with his opponent showing K♣9♠.
The river was A♥ and Henson picked up the flush, the pot, and the elimination.
