Ray Henson raised to 110,000 from middle position. Joe Tehan reraised to 285,000 from the button. Everybody folded and Tehan was pushed this pot.
Another Three-Bet Takes It Down
Joe Tehan opened with a raise to 110,000 from the cutoff seat. He just three-bet Ray Henson's open to win the last hand. Anh Van Nguyen reraised from the small blind to 285,000.

flop gave Tehan a pair of aces. Toole was in big trouble and needed help. The
