Johnston Catches Leibgorin's Hand in the Cookie Jar
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante
Michel Leibgorin opened the hijack to 35,000 and Michael Johnston defended his big blind.
Johnston stood pat and Leibgorin decided to pat behind. Johnston checked and Leibgorin cut out a bet of 56,000. Johnston went deep into the tank as he contemplated his bluff-catcher. He ultimately landed on the correct decision as he put in the call and Leibgorin announced that he had paired while Johnston rolled over 10x9x4x3x2x for the winner.
"It's the only way I can play it," explained Leibgorin.
