Henderson Doubles Through Hughes

Hugh Henderson Doubles
Hugh Henderson Doubles

Matthew Graham opened to 100,000 only to have Hugh Henderson move all in for 855,000 over the top. Hai Chu got out of the way and Ryan Hughes four-bet his entire stack all in and a dejected Graham mucked his hand, allowing the cards to be turned up:

Henderson: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Hughes: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board fell {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Hughes was unable to improve, thus awarding Henderson a key double up while Hughes' stack fell to 750,000.
