Got to be Impressed
Level 5: 150,000-300,000, 30,000 ante
Man, John Hennigan is putting on an exhibition. He got John Gale's chips in what may have been the biggest hand of the day with a better flush, and now he''s just made a great call against Michael Sukonik. Sukonik moved all-in with pocket eights, and Hennigan made the call with 10-9 offsuit. That Hennigan was in a coinflip with those cards is pretty remarkable. I'd surmise Hennigan eliminated most tier 1 hands (AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK) on the basis that Sukonik might have tried to finesse them a little more. The fact World hasn't granted much of anything in the way of interviews and the like hasn't been endearing, but you have to admire the way he's played here today.
