Marco Johnson Goes Out in Two Hands

Marco Johnson shoved for 9,500 from early position and got called for less by the big blind. When the cards were shown, Johnson's queen-jack was dominated by his opponent's ace-jack.

When both players connected on a flop of {A-?} {Q-?} {9-?}, Johnson had some outs left. They didn't come with a {4-?} on the turn or king on the river, leaving Johnson with just 1,500.

When Johnson pushed with ace-nine on the next hand, he ran into pocket tens, and couldn't improve.
