Level 25
John Hennigan
John Hennigan

Pot-Limit Omaha

John Hennigan raised to 250,000 on the button, Brandon Shack-Harris defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {3-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Shack-Harris check-called a bet of 250,000, and both players checked after the turn brought the {k-Clubs}.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}, Shack-Harris checked a third and final time, and Hennigan tossed out five canary T100,000 chips. Shack-Harris folded.

Two hands later, Hennigan opened to 200,000 on the button. Shack-Harris called, the flop fell {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and both players checked. The turn was the {j-Hearts}, Shack-Harris led out for 300,000, and Hennigan called.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board, Shack-Harris fired out another 425,000, and Hennigan tank-called. Shack-Harris hesitated to show his hand, then mucked when Hennigan revealed {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for just a pair of jacks.

"Nice hand," Shack-Harris told Hennigan.
