Henson Doubles Through Watts

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Matthew Henson opened the action with a raise to 40,000. Steven Watts three bet to 85,000 before Henson went all in for 133,000 total. Watts called to put Henson at risk and the hands were put on their backs.

Henson: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Watts: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} keeping Henson's Queens in front. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Hensen just had to dodge the two remaining Nine's in the deck. The {5-Clubs} river bricked Watts and Henson has doubled to 175,000.
