Johnny World Takes a Big Hit

Level 12 : 300/600, 100 ante

John Hennigan opened the action under the gun with a raise to 1,400. Chris Klodnicki called, as did Dylan Wilkerson from the button, Mark Scott from the small blind, and Ezra Udoff from the big blind. The five players saw the flop roll out {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Scott and Udoff checked, then Johnny World bet out for 4,000. Klodnicki and Wilkerson folded, and Scott hesitated for a long time before reluctantly releasing his cards.

The table almost suffered a procedural disaster, as the dealer started to turn before Udoff acted. Fortunately for Udoff, he was able to interrupt the dealer in time, and he then check-raised to 14,000. Hennigan quickly announced "all-in," and Udoff was put to a decision for all his chips. He thought for a minute before calling and turning over {7-Spades}{5-Clubs} for two pair. Hennigan tabled {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for a flush draw. The turn card ended the suspense, bringing the {5-Hearts} and giving Udoff a full house. The meaningless river card was the {6-Spades}, giving Hennigan a flush which was no longer good enough. Udoff doubled up, and Hennigan lost most of his stack.
