Johnson Calls Romer's Shove

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Aaron Johnson bet 5,000 with the board reading {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Bill Romer put Johnson all in for about 26,000 total. Johnson thought for about a minute before calling it off.

Johnson: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Romer: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

"Nice call, young man," Rob Wazwaz said.

It got even nice when Johnson's queens up held on the {7-Clubs} river, and he doubled through Romer, who still has a healthy stack.

Gutfreund's Plan Comes Together

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
David Gutfreund won a big pot with aces.
David Gutfreund won a big pot with aces.

A player opened for 1,500 under the gun, and David Gutfreund called from early position. A player in late position made it 5,000, and the initial raiser called. Gutfreund shoved all in for about 40,000, and the three-bettor made the call. The player under the gun thought for a bit before deciding to fold

Gutfreund: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Late position: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop brought little for the player in late position, but a {9-Spades} turn gave him a straight draw. No paint arrived though, as a {3-Clubs} hit the board.

"I love it when a plan comes together," Gutfreund said, leaning back as the dealer pushed him the pot.
