Full House for Johnson

Rodger Johnson
Rodger Johnson

A player in early position opened to 2,000 from early position and was called by Reg Powell in middle position, Rodger Johnson in the cutoff, and both players in the blinds.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades} and action checked to the preflop raiser, who bet 5,000. Only Johnson called.

The original raiser checked on the {3-Diamonds} turn, prompting a 7,000 bet from Johnson, which his opponent called.

The {9-Spades} completed the board and Johnson's opponent checked once more. Johnson fired 15,000 and was called. Johnson tabled {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a full house and his opponent mucked.

Kessler Finds Two Double-Ups

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Allen Kessler shoved for his last 14,800 from late position and was called by a single player in the small blind.

Kessler: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Small blind: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

It was a race, but the {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} left Kessler with trips and he doubled through.

Shortly after, Kessler found himself all-in again with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} against an opponent's {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The board ran clean and Kessler doubled up again.

"Don't forget to add the part where Kessler tanked for 90 seconds with jacks," Aaron Massey, who is at the same table as Kessler, quipped.
