Johnson Puts in a Big Shove; Goldsmith Doubles on the River
Around 50,000 was already in the middle as Adam Johnson and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 8♣J♠5♣7♠. Johnson then bet 24,000 from middle position, and his opponent called in the big blind.
The river was the J♣ and Johnson moved all in. His opponent had around 40,000 remaining and leaned back in his seat, tanking for several minutes before sliding his cards into the muck.
At another table, a player in middle position three-bet to 5,000 and Jason Goldsmith moved all in for 25,800 in early position. His opponent called to put Goldsmith at risk.
Jason Goldsmith: A♥K♥
Opponent: A♦K♦
Both players showed ace-king and were poised for a chop, but the middle-position player picked up a flush draw on the 3♦6♦3♥ flop. The 6♥ turn also gave Goldsmith a flush draw, and he hit it on the 9♥ river to earn the double up.
