Duta Gets Value from Johnson
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Picking the action up in a battle between Florian Duta on the button and Richard Johnson in the big blind, both players checked through the flop of 8♠8♥J♠ with around 85,000 in the middle.
On the 6♠ turn Johnson led out with a bet of 30,000 which Duta quickly called.
On the 3♠ river Johnson checked to his opponent. Duta slid out a bet of 55,000 and after some thought, Johnson called.
Duta showed A♣9♠ for a nine high flush, and Johnson turned over Q♣8♦, his flopped set of eights having been overtaken on the river, allowing Duta to scoop an early pot.
