Henson Gets Full Double-Up with Nut Straight
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Ray Henson limped from under the gun only to hear the player to his direct left announce "pot" for 1,400. The button called as did Henson to bring out the 3♣4♦A♠ flop.
Henson checked and the early position player potted again for 6,400. The button got out of the way, and Henson put in a call to see the K♣ on the turn.
Action checked through and both players watched the 6♣ fall on the river.
Henson went all in for his remaining chips and his opponent wasted very little time in making the call to show the A♦Q♦Q♠J♠. But his exuberance didn't last long upon discovering that his hand was way behind Henson's 10♥7♦6♠5♠, giving him the nut straight for a double-up.
