Hennigan Flushed, Twice

In two back-to-back hands, John Hennigan ended up chopping two pots due to board flushes. The first took place with board reading {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and Hennigan led out on the river with {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} and was called by his opponent who held {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. They chopped and the following hand Hennigan was all in holding pocket tens and called by a player holding {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. The board ran {8-Spades} {J-Spades} {3-Spades} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} and Hennigan and his opponent chopped.

Though Hennigan wasn't eliminated in either situation, it's a sure bet he would have rather doubled through than chop.
