Ace-King Good for Hendren

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

After a series of preflop raises, Roger Hendren was all in and at risk preflop for 299,000 holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} of Dutchman Patrick Renkers.

The {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop changed little, but the turn was the {k-Spades}, giving Hendren a pair of aces. He released a hearty fist pump.

The river was the {a-Spades}, giving Hendren two pair for kicks and giggles, and again he punched the air with great enthusiasm. He doubled to 610,000, while Renkers fell to 500,000.
