Johnson Falls on the Bubble with Big Slick

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nicholas Johnson
Nicholas Johnson

Troy Laypo opened to 20,000 in the cutoff, and Nicholas Johnson moved all in for his last 88,000 in the big blind. Laypo made the call, and the cards were turned up once play concluded on the other tables.

Nicholas Johnson: AK All in
Troy Laypo: KJ

Johnson had a big advantage, but Laypo picked up a straight draw on the Q96 flop. The Q turn changed nothing, but Laypo spiked the J river to send Johnson out on the stone bubble.
