Johnston Spikes the River to Double
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of A♥5♠3♦, Cameron Johnston bet 40,000 from early position and Yasong Tang called under the gun.
The turn was the 8♠ and Johnston moved all in for 162,000. Tang snap-called and turned over A♦K♥, while Johnston had A♠10♠.
Johnston was dominated and looking to complete a flush draw on the river to survive. He didn't hit the flush, but he did spike the 10♦ to make two pair and earn the double up.
