Johnson Sends One to the Rail As the Bubble Approaches

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Aaron Johnson opened to 16,000 in the cutoff and it folded to the big blind who tossed a pile of 5,000-chip in front of him for a bet around 120,000, with only 8,000 left behind.

Johnson replied by a shove, putting his opponent deep into the tank. After a few minutes, the clock was called and the big blind ended up sending his last chips in the middle for the call:

Aaron Johnson: K?K?
Big Blind: A?7?

Johnson was in great shape to win the pot and bust his opponent , which he did after the board brought 2?9?10?3?7?.
