Hensley Over Shelmerdine

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Rick Hensley has chipped up nicely since the dinner break, and here at the start of Level 11 finds himself up over the 100,000-chip mark after winning a pot off of Kirk Shelmerdine.

The hand saw the under-the-gun player limp, then Hensley putting in a raise from middle position that Shelmerdine called from the button. The blinds and limper folded, then both remaining players checked the {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}. This time Hensley made a small bet of 1,000 and Shelmerdine called. The river brought the {7-Hearts} and a bet of 3,000 from Hensley, and this time Shelmerdine folded.

Hensley showed one card — the {7-Clubs} — and dragged the pot.
