button in SafariTran Sinks Henson
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
John Tran opened to 10,000 from early position before Ray Henson shoved for his last 64,000 from the small blind. Tran asked for a count before he made the call after taking an inventory. Henson was at risk as they went to a showdown.
Ray Henson: 6♣6♦
John Tran: A♥5♥
Henson needed to fade an ace, but the flop did not comply with that directive when it came J♦K♠A♣, upgrading Tran to the best hand with a pair of aces.
The Q♥ turn offered some hope for a chop should a ten hit the river, but the 9♠ peeled instead as Henson hit the exit.
