...Aaand Willerson Doubles Back Through Henderson

Neil Willerson opened to 250,000 on the button and Hugh Henderson three-bet to 1,050,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Willerson, who announced he was all in after some thought. Henderson quickly called and hands were revealed.

Willerson: {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Henderson: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Willerson was ahead, but there was a decent chance the pot would be chopped. However, the {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} board meant that Willerson's eight-kicker played and he doubled back through Henderson.
