Kings and Queens

Even a guillotine. John Hennigan checked a heads-up flop of {10-Clubs} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} to his opponent, who bet 11,000. Hennigan check-raised to 31,000. His opponent went all in for a total of 42,500 and Johnny "World" made the call.

Hennigan: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

A trey on the turn and an ace on the river sealed the hand for Hennigan. He eliminated his opponent and is up to 98,000.
