Getting Them In The Pocket

Stephen Hendry - he likes the green baize

Pocket aces suck. Just ask Stephen Hendry. We did...

It’s your first WSOP. You’re playing tight because you want to see out the first day. Then you get pocket Aces and 30 seconds later it’s all over. Shee-it. You’re probably not going to be in the best of moods but then you’re not Crucible legend and seven-time snooker champ Stephen Hendry.

The Scottish legend might look dour with a cue stuck in his hand but despite taking a bad beat in the biggest tournament of his life he took some time out to talk to us. Charming isn’t a big enough word…

What happened?

I was playing okay, I lasted about three hours, folding my low Aces, not getting carried away with small pairs – all the things you do when the blinds are low.
