Henderson Makes Huge Fold

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up after the flop of {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and 45,000 already in the middle.

Jim Rafferty was small blind and bet 8,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn. Justin Henderson flicked in chips for a call, and the final card on the board was the {j-Clubs}.

Rafferty wasn't slowing down. It was a shove for his remaining 85,000, but Henderson wasn't going away without considering every option (including the call for his tournament life).

One of the many floor managers were called over to the table for a clock, but several other tables had called for one as well.

More than two minutes had passed, and Hendrickson addressed the table.

"It's a tough one guys... You have pocket twos?"

Without a response from Rafferty, Hendrickson folded {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} face up, and many at the table were impressed
he let a rivered set go.

Rafferty responded by flashing the {4-Hearts}, confirming Henrickson's suspicion about the possible straight beating his three jacks.
