Henderson vs. the Defenderson

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

James Kinney continues to play fast, raising multiple times during the last orbit and gradually adding to his stack. He's also been routinely defending his blinds, as he did again just now after an opening raise from late position by Hugh Henderson and a call by George Zinaty in the small blind.

The flop came {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and after Zinaty checked, Kinney quickly fired 250,000. Henderson then raised to 500,000, and after a long time in the tank Zinaty let his hand go.

Kinney then folded quickly face up — {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} — and leaned forward with a sheepish grin as he saw Henderson show his hand, too — {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

"Only way I could win," said Kinney, still smiling, and Henderson nodded in agreement.
