On the 9♠8♠2♠ flop, Weber tossed in a chip and Johnson put in the last 5,000 after unsuccessfully trying to secure the pay ladder before putting himself at risk.
Aaron Johnson: K♠K♥
Michael Weber: J♠J♥
Johnson was in great shape with the overpair and higher spade. The board ran out Q♥9♦, and Johnson doubled.
Shortly after, Naveen Narla was eliminated, securing a pay jump for the final 41 players.
