Henry Gets Lucky to Crack Aces; Eyzaguirre Eliminated

Chad Holloway

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

We're not sure how the chips got in, but a preflop raising war resulted in Hanson Henry getting his stack of 271,000 all in preflop against both Corel Theuma and Ricardo Eyzaguirre, with the latter also being all in for roughly 70,000 more.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre:
Hanson Henry:
Corel Theuma:

Theuma had the best of it but the flop did pair Henry. The turn was interesting as it gave both Henry and Eyzaguirre outs, and the former hit when the spiked on the river to give him two pair.

Henry tripled in the hand while Theuma collected the smaller side pot to eliminate Eyzaguirre.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hanson Henry	800,000	350,000
