Willerson Doubles Through Henderson

Neil Willerson opened to 125,000 from the hijack seat and found one caller in Hugh Henderson from the small blind for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Spades} and Henderson checked to Willerson, who fired 375,000 into the middle. Henderson then check-raised all in and Willerson called all in for less to put himself at risk.

Willerson: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Henderson: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Henderson had Willerson in bad shape with his set. The {7-Clubs} changed nothing, however, an {A-Hearts} landed on the river - giving Willerson a superior set for the double up.

Willerson is back up to 3.3 million, while Henderson slipped to 1.7 million.
