Johnston Spikes the River to Triple, Kontogiannis Sets a Trap For Taylor
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Bryan Taylor raised to 6,000 on the button and Vasileios Kontogiannis called in the small blind. Cameron Johnston then moved all in for 31,000 in the big blind and Taylor called, but Kontogiannis reshoved. Taylor quickly called for his last 80,000.
Cameron Johnston: A♥J♦ 
Bryan Taylor: 10♦9♥
Vasileios Kontogiannis: K♠K♥
Kontogiannis had woken up with kings and was poised for the double knockout as the flop came J♣7♣5♦. The 10♠ turn gave Taylor more outs, but it was Johnston who hit the A♦ river to make two pair and triple up. Kontogiannis took the side pot to send Taylor to the rail.
