Some No-Limit Hands

Level 25

No-Limit Hold'em

Hand #224: John Hennigan opened for 200,000 from the small blind and Matthew Ashton defended from the big. The latter then called a bet of 175,000 from the former on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and the dealer burned and turned the {2-Clubs}, which both players checked.

When the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Hennigan bet 300,000 and Ashton called.

"You got it," Hennigan admitted prompting Ashton to table the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs} for the win.

Hand #226: Ashton made it 160,000 from the button, both his opponents called and it was three-way action to the {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Two checks put action on Ashton and he bet 240,000. Don Nguyen folded and then Hennigan woke up with a check-raise to 500,000, which Ashton called. Both players checked the {A-Spades} turn and then Hennigan fired out 700,000 on the {5-Clubs} river. Ashton thought for a brief moment and then folded his hand.
