Sternberg Not Done with Henson

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Just a couple hands after Sternberg's Ace-King split against Henson's Aces, the two went at it again. Henson raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Sternberg flatted from the big blind.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and once again Sternberg checked. This time, however, Henson bet 60,000 only to be check-raised by Sternberg to 165,000. Henson made the call and the river was the {A-Hearts}. Sternberg slowed down and let Henson bet again, this time 150,000. Sternberg made the call and Henson simply mucked. Sternberg showed a set of deuces for good measure and raked in the 750,000 chip pot.
