Hanson Put to the Test

A player in early position raised it up to 525 and action folded around to Bart Hanson who made the call from the button. The blinds folded and it was heads up to the flop.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs} prompting a bet of 600 from the early position player. Hanson made the call.

The {k-Spades} on the turn paired the board a brought another bet from the aggressor, this time for 800. Another call was made by Hanson and the dealer laid out one more card. The {k-Hearts} on the river saw a repeat of action with an 1,100 bet from the early position player. Hanson struggled to make the call and eventually did.

The early position player flipped over {9-}{9-} for a full house kings full of nines, and Hanson exposed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for a superior full house, kings full of queens.
