Wilson Wins All of Johnson's Chips
Chris Johnson made it 120,000 in the hijack. 2016 Irish Open champion Dan Wilson fired a three-bet to 375,000 in the small blind, to which Johnson responded by moving all in for 1,760,000.
Wilson pondered his options for a little while before he called to put Johnson at risk.
Chris Johnson: A♠K♦ 
Dan Wilson: A♣Q♣
Johnson's Big Slick was in the lead, but Wilson flopped a royal flush draw on J♣6♠10♣ for a plethora of outs. The 8♠ turn added some more outs to Wilson's arsenal, and the K♥ river completed Broadway to secure the pot in Wilson's favor.
Wilson shipped the big pot, eliminating Johnson and chipping Wilson up to twice the average stack.
Meanwhile, Wilson's fellow Irish Open champion Steve O'Dwyer was seated next to him and had amassed a stack worth over 100 big blinds.
