Johnson Eliminates Nuss to Crack 100K
Eric Nuss opened for 3,900 from early position and received a call from George Johnson to his immediate left. When action reached Nicholas Walker in the big blind, he three-bet to 8,500, both his opponents called, and then all three players checked the 
flop.
After the dealer burned and turned the 
, Walker and Nuss both checked and Johnson casually tossed out two yellow T5,000 chips. Walker reluctantly tossed his hand to the muck, and Nuss hit the tank. Eventually he decided to move all in for 5,400 more, and Johnson called.
Johnson: 
Nuss: 
Walker couldn't believe it and claimed to have folded pocket kings. As it was, Johnson was well out in front and just needed to dodge a nine on the river to eliminate Nuss. The 
was close, but not what Nuss needed.
