Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player under the gun raised to 6,000 before Kevin Johnson moved all in for 43,000 in the hijack. Daniel Perry then reshoved on the button, and the under-the-gun player got out of the way.

Daniel Perry: 9♣9♦
Johnson was racing for his tournament life, and he caught a pair on the K♥8♥Q♠ flop to take the lead. The 5♠ turn was safe, while the 4♠ fell on the river to secure his double up.
