Johnny Makes a World Class Call

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante
John Hennigan Just Made an Amazing Call With Just a Pair of Deuces
John Hennigan Just Made an Amazing Call With Just a Pair of Deuces

Facing a bet of 16,000 from Erik Cajelais, and with over 22,000 already at stake in the pot, John "World" Hennigan took more than a minute to ponder his options.

The board read {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Cajelais had led out for a sizable bet of 3/4 the pot. Hennigan studied Cajelais intently while thinking things through, and finally he announced a call.

Cajelais could only turn over his {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a busted flush draw, and he peered across the table to see what he had been called down with.

Hennigan turned over the {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for just a pair of deuces, and with his superhero call, "Johnny World" took down the huge pot with merely a single pair. Although I'm sure after this play, Hennigan would say it took more than just one pair to earn this pot.
