Johnson Scores a Knockout
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 2,500, middle position flatted, and Reid Johnson three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Under the gun called and middle position got out of the way.
The flop came Q♦2♠5♦, under the gun checked, and Johnson continued with a bet of 15,000. Under the gun then moved all in for about 40,000 to put himself at risk and Johnson quickly called.
Under the gun: 10♣10♠ 
Reid Johnson: A♦K♦
It was a fair fight, but Johnson pulled ahead on the K♠ turn, pairing his king. The 5♠ rolled off on the river and the pot was pushed Johnson's way.
