Johns Stays Alive
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Michael Johns moved all in from under the gun for 560,000, and when it folded to Cody Stanford in the small blind, he made the call, and the big blind folded, leaving the players heads up.
Michael Johns: K♣9♣ 
Cody Stanford: A♥8♣
Stanford was in front with his ace high and improved to a pair of eights after the 3♥10♠8♠ flop. The 6♠ on the turn changed nothing, but the K♥ on the river gave Johns the best hand with a pair of kings, to take the pot and double up.
