Johnson Hits the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michael Esquivel bet 13,000 on the 3♥6♠2♦J♦ turn, and Nathan Johnson replied by moving all in for 47,800. Esquivel went into the tank, taking several minutes before standing up to study his opponent.
Esquivel opted to make the call, and the hands were turned up.
Nathan Johnson: 4♣4♥
Michael Esquivel: K♥6♥
The dealer flipped over the 5♦ river, and Esquivel quickly turned and walked away from the table. Johnson made a straight to survive, taking a big piece of Esquivel's stack.
