Hennigan Has A Dream

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

John Hennigan sat down for the first time at the start of this seventh level telling his table he had a dream he was going to raise the first hand he saw no matter what it was. Forced to post, instead he called a 1,300-chip open from Jared Hamby and the player in the big blind came along as well.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} and after a check, Hamby bet 2,100. Both Hennigan and the big blind called to see the {8-Diamonds} turn. This time Hamby bet 10,800 and only Hennigan called.

They checked down the {j-Spades} river before Hennigan turned over {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and it was enough to get him off to the kind of start he'd dreamed of.
