Ghio Gets One Through
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Clay Johnson opened to 80,000 from the hijack and the button called before Joe Ghio three-bet jammed a stack of 590,000 from the small blind. Johnson re-shoved with a bigger stack to bring a fold from the button.
Joe Ghio: 8?8?
Clay Johnson: A?10?
Ghio was able to survive the flip to hold onto his tournament life as the board ran out a safe 3?5?9?J?K?.
"Got it through," Ghio said in relief as he earned a double.
