Johnston Has the Best Hand This Time
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexander Rizvi raised to 2,000 in the cutoff, Cameron Johnston moved all in for 13,700 on the button, and Rizvi called.
Cameron Johnston: J♣J♠ 
Alexander Rizvi: A♣9♣
Johnston, who earlier cracked kings with trip fives for a miracle double up, was the favorite this time as the flop came 9♥7♣4♠, giving Rizvi some hope with top pair. The 5♦ turn was safe for Johnston, while he secured the double up once the 3♣ completed the board on the river.
