Ace-High Good for Hendin

Written by Kyle M | May 11, 2026 11:15:00 PM

On blinds of 10K/20K/20K, Benoit Vallieres checked to Ben Hendin on a flop of Qs9d6s. Hendin bet 100,000. Vallieres moved all-in for 350,000.

Hendin didn't take much time before calling. Vallieres rolled over AsJs for the nut flush draw. Hendin shrugged as he tabled ace-king.

Vallieres: AsJs (all-in)
Hendin: AcKd
Board: Qs9d6s2cQd

Vallieres' flush draw bricked on the 2c turn and Qd river. He was eliminated by Hendin's ace-high hero call.

Hendin: 2,235,000
Vallieres: 43rd - $1,000
