John Hennigan in Trouble

John Hennigan bet the whole way showing {5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} but Lyle Berman called him down with {K-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades}. At the river both players checked as Berman flipped over ({8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}) for two pair which was good as Hennigan mucked saying he only held a pair of tens.

Berman is going strong with 28,000 while Hennigan doesn't have room for any more mistakes as he is crippled to only 2,350.
