The hijack open-shoved for 18,500 and action folded around to Peter Johnson in the small blind, who dropped an additional chip onto the felt to signify a call.

John Smith raised to 2,000 under the gun and was called by Peter Johnson in the cutoff. The big blind re-jammed for 6,400 without looking at his cards and both Smith and Johnson called, giving him a shot at a triple.
Smith fired out another 4,000 into the side pot on and Johnson called, with the two checking down the turn and river to take the hand to showdown thereafter.
Johnson showed for a pair of kings after checking back, prompting a muck from Smith. The dealer scooped his cards into the muck without displaying them, and then the big blind sweated his holdings, peeling up and then to follow.
With both pots, Johnson now finds himself back over 100K after dipping back near starting stack in the last few levels.
Dapo Ajayi got his stack of around 17,000 all in preflop from the small blind and received action from Justin Liberto, who was in the hijack.
Dapo Ajayi:
Justin Liberto:
Ajayi saw Liberto spike a three outer on the flop , hitting top two pair and leaving him in need of help to stay alive. None of his seven outs came as the turn and river completed the runout, resulting in Liberto collecting the pot and the knockout.
