Mark Johnson Eliminated in 3rd Place ($35,745)
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Zarlenga opened for 115,000 on the button, and after Mike Deis folded from the small blind, Mark Johnson three-bet to 275,000 from the big. Zarlenga responded by four-betting all in, and Johnson double checked his cards before calling off for approximately 1.8 million.
Zarlenga: 
Johnson: 
It was a classic flip for a lot of chips, but Johnson was the one at risk and needing to improve. The 
flop was no help, and neither was the 
turn. Johnson needed either an ace or queen on the river to survive, but it was not meant to be as the 
blanked.
Johnson will take home $35,745 for his third-place finish while Zarlenga and Deis will battle heads up.
