![John Hennigan Just Made an Amazing Call With Just a Pair of Deuces](https://s.pnimg.net/Pf63jeXvHgmZLsiCUOyOm9Av1wB0X-BJKXMGs9ZSJiM/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8x/ODM2LzgveDk3NjEy/NmE1MzkuanBn.webp)
Facing a bet of 16,000 from Erik Cajelais, and with over 22,000 already at stake in the pot, John "World" Hennigan took more than a minute to ponder his options.
The board read and Cajelais had led out for a sizable bet of 3/4 the pot. Hennigan studied Cajelais intently while thinking things through, and finally he announced a call.
Cajelais could only turn over his for a busted flush draw, and he peered across the table to see what he had been called down with.
Hennigan turned over the for just a pair of deuces, and with his superhero call, "Johnny World" took down the huge pot with merely a single pair. Although I'm sure after this play, Hennigan would say it took more than just one pair to earn this pot.
