Ray Henson: "One of the Good Guys"

Ray Henson
Ray Henson
The members of Ray Henson's entourage supporting him here at the WSOP all will tell you what a good guy he is. Many of them are flying back and forth on a daily basis between Las Vegas and their hometown of Houston, Texas where they all work. Ray's mom is actually currently in the air right now, flying here to join the party of supporters for her son. This is the Big Dance and his friends and family know it.

Ray has played poker for a living these past few years and is making a name for himself at the 2007 Main Event, sitting high in the chip count at over 10,000,000. Ray recently won one of the "Deep Stack Extravaganza" events at the Venetian and is set to cash big at the WSOP. We wish him the best of luck.

At the Featured Table, Billy Spadea limps from the small blind for 100,000, Ray Henson raises from the big blind to 250,000, and Spadea calls. The flop comes {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and both players check. The turn card is the {4-Clubs}, Spadea bets 400,000, Henson min-raises to 800,000, and Spadea calls. The river card is the {8-Clubs}, and both players check.

Spadea shows {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, for a pair of fours, queen kicker, and Henson shows {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours, ace kicker. Ray Henson wins the pot, and he overtakes Spadea for the chip lead.
