Aaron Johnson Eliminated in 6th Place ($31,629)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Aaron Johnson jammed for 295,000 from the cutoff, and John Michalak three-bet to 665,000 on the button, chasing out the blinds.

Aaron Johnson: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
John Michalak: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Johnson, the reigning HPT Player of the Year, got no help on the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop.

"Six for a sweat!" Michalak said.

The {2-Hearts} was not sweaty at all, and Johnson needed a nine to avoid elimination. The {3-Diamonds} river wasn't it, and Johnson left his second HPT Championship Event final table in sixth.
