Brian Johnson on the Upswing

[user25067]

The player in the hijack seat opened for 1,800, Brian Johnson raised to 3,400 from the button, the small blind flat-called and the hijack called as well. The flop came down {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {2-Clubs}. The small blind checked to the hijack, who bet 5,000, prompting an all-in shove from Johnson for 10,250. The small blind insta-mucked, but the hijack tanked a while, disgustedly mucking his cards in the end.

Coming back from the dinner break with 25,000 and dipping as low as 12,000 at one point, Johnson is now up to a healthy 30,000.
