Popolo Sends Johansson to the Rail
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vincenzo Popolo raised to 36,000 from middle position, which met resistance in the form of a three-shove for 121,000 from Jerry Johansson in the big blind.
The action returned to Popolo, who wasn't in love with the situation, but made the call nonetheless.
Jerry Johansson: 7♣6♣ 
Vincenzo Popolo: K♣9♣
As it happened, Popolo had the best hand, and it would stay that way as the board came out 7♠Q♥9♦10♣9♥, seeing Johansson eliminated.
