Henderson Almost Avoids Disaster
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In a three-bet pot worth 55,000 chips, Stephen Henderson made a bet of 45,000 from under the gun on a flop of 5♦K♥A♦. Gary Stokes then jammed all in for 115,500 and Henderson spent a few minutes in the tank before dejectedly putting in a call.
Gary Stokes: K♠K♣ 
Stephen Henderson: A♥Q♠
The 7♦ turn left Henderson drawing dead against the set of Stokes, and the Q♦ river rolled off while he paid his dues.
