Johnson Up to Winning Ways Early
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
Action was picked up with a pot of 9,000 in the middle on the turn with the board reading 
. MSPT legend Aaron Johnson was in the small blind and led out with an overbet of 10,000. Phillip Giola raised all in from middle position, Johnson snap-called and turned over the 
flush.
Gioia rolled over his 
two-pair, needing a four or queen on the river to make a full house. But the river came the 
and Gioia was busted.
"Up to your old tricks again huh?" said a tablemate as Johnson gathered in the nice haul to his stack.
