Johnson Triples Up
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aaron Johnson opened action with a raise all in for 19,000 and was called by George Dietz. Action on the table folded around to Ruslan Saldkov who three-bet all in getting a fold from Dietz.
Ruslan Saldkov: 
Aaron Johnson: 
It was a classic race with Johnson's tournament life at risk as the flop fell 
giving Saldkoc a broadway draw and Johnson a sweat.
The 
turn paired the board and Johnson was able to breathe after the dealer completed the board with the 
river.
