The Result
In the final hand of the 1987 WSOP Johnny Chan was holding the A
9
and Frank Henderson had the 4
4. Johnny's first move was to raise $60,000 and Henderson decided to move all-in with his pocket fours. The flop came and it was the 58
K, really no help to either player. The turn came with the 10, again no help. So, we are down to one card, and when the river card hit the 9 Johnny Chan was your World Series of Poker Champion.

This hand was your typical final hand that came down to a coin flip.
