Johnston Wins Massive Pot
Level 27
: 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
While we were writing the last elimination hand, a monstrous pot was brewing between John Johnston and Kyle Norton. When we arrived, each player had already committed a million chips, and the board was completed 
.
Norton checked, and Johnston moved all in for 675,000. Norton tank-called, and could only shake his had at the sight of Johnston's 
.
Some players started defending Johnston, saying he flopped a spade draw, but Norton and Nick "Panini" Curanovic were quick to point out that he only held one spade in his hand.
Johnston is now over 3 million chips, while Norton plummeted to 820,000.
