Ray Henson Doubles Up

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Ray Henson joined shortly after the first break of the day. He just doubled up when he three-bet shoved with {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

His opponent called with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and then shrugged his shoulders as if he expected a queen to roll off on the {q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Henson stayed ahead and earned the double.

Henson is currently third in the WSOP Player of the Year race. He has four final tables this WSOP and is definitely capable of finishing an already strong summer with a bang and taking home the WSOP POY honors.

He is currently chasing John Racener who won his first bracelet this year among a record 14 total cashes. In second place is Chris Ferguson, who also has 14 cashes this summer.

The race should be a close one. We will keep you posted on how Henson fares here on Day 1 of Event #64.
