Willerson Doubles Through Henderson

Hugh Henderson called on the button and Vladimir Mefodichev completed from the small. Neil Willerson raised to 375,00 and Henderson called. Mefodichev got out of the way and the two were heads up to a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Willerson announced all in and Henderson snap-called just as fast. Willerson rolled his eyes and showed {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for king-high. Henderson showed {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a heart draw and Willerson was astounded to find that he was actually ahead.

The turn was the {K-Spades} pairing Willerson's king and eliminating any pair outs for Henderson. Henderson was in search of a heart on the river but alas, fifth street brought the {3-Clubs} and Henderson shipped a majority of his stack across the table.
