"Not Like That!"; Johnson Stuns Bartha on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Liviu Bartha three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind before Mitchell Johnson moved all in from the hijack. Bartha snap-called.
Liviu Bartha: K♦K♣
Mitchell Johnson: A♦K♠
Bartha had woken up with kings and left Johnson looking for an ace. The 7♦3♥2♠ flop was safe for Bartha, while the 4♥ turn also gave Johnson outs to a straight. Johnson hit the 5♠ on the river to make his straight.
"Not like that!" tablemate Mariusz Czech said, doing his best Martin Kabrhel impression.
The stacks were counted down and Johnson had Bartha's remaining 110,000 covered by just 500, earning him the knockout.
