Johnny World Gets Paid

Level 2

No-Limit Hold'em

Catching up with this one on the turn with the board showing {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}, it appeared that after checking from the blinds, Chris Klodnicki had watched Hennigan bet 1,700, then Klodnicki had raised back to 5,000 and after pausing for a half-minute Hennigan had called.

The river brought the {K-Spades} and a quick bet of 10,000. Hennigan then fired a raise to 27,000, sending Klodnicki into the tank for a minute before he finally made the call.

Hennigan quickly turned over his hand — {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Johnny "World" had turned the nuts, and at the sight of his opponent's hand Klodnicki mucked.
