Johnson Pulls Away

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Marco Johnson raised his button, Jeff Thompson reraised, and Johnson made it four bets to play. Thompson flatted and the flop fell {4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Thompson checked to the aggressor, and Johnson used his big stack to apply pressure with a bet. Thompson called and the turn came {3-Diamonds}. Thompson mixed it up by leading out on fourth street, and Johnson smooth called to see the {5-Diamonds} drop on the river.

Both players tapped the table, and Johnson rolled over {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for the winner.

Shortly there after, Thompson raised his button, and three-bet after Johnson reraised. Johnson flatted and the flop was {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. The action went check-bet-call, and the turn was the {9-Spades}. Once again Thompson checked, and called a bet by Johnson, and the river was the {8-Clubs}.

Both players checked the river, and Johnson revealed another winner with the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a pair on the turn.

With these losses, Thompson dropped far down in the chip counts, and he would need a valiant comeback to overcome Johnson's decided advantage.
