Johnson Wins Four-Way All in

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jason Johnson
Jason Johnson

We found four players all in preflop with the cards on their backs and the dealer preparing to fire out the board. Jason Johnson had the lead for the moment with {10-}{10-}. One player had {7-}{7-} and the shortest stack, Dan Bekavac had {9-}{9-}, and the last player was pleasantly surprised to see he was in solid shape with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and the {k-Hearts} turn meant seemingly half of the deck would ship the pot to the player with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The {5-Clubs} river was a brick though, and Johnson pumped his fist and collected the huge pot.

Bekavac lost most of his stack and busted out in short order.

JJ for JJ

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jason Johnson bet 1,350 on a {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop after both blinds checked to him, and both called. Everyone checked the {4-Hearts}, and Johnson bet 2,650 on the {5-Hearts} river. The small blind quickly mucked, but the big blind called.

Johnson showed {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and took the pot.

Zarlenga Gets Paid

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player in the big blind bet 3,000 against two opponents on a {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} board, and only button Jason Zarlenga called. The big blind checked the {10-Diamonds}, and Zarlenga bet 5,750. After about a three-minute tank, the big blind tossed in a call, and Zarlenga showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a boat.

Rolnitzky Fades Two Draws

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jack Rolnitzky may be the early leader here at Mid-State Poker Tour FireKeepers Casino after he took down a three-way all in on a {3-}{6-}{7-} flop. Rolnitzky held {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and was up against {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and {8-}{5-}. Both straight draws bricked as the {j-} turn was followed by a {2-} river, and Rolnitzky has more than three times the starting stack now.

"Chainsaw" Buzzing Early

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Allen Kessler put in a check-raise to what looked like about 8,000 from an early position on an {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} board. His opponent in middle position called, then called another 5,000 on the {10-Hearts} river.

Kessler showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and took the pot with his set.
