Rodger Johnson Goes All In
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Under the gun opened with a min-raise to 2,000 and both small blind and Rodger Johnson in the big made the call to see the 
flop.
The player in the small blind checked and Johnson did as well.
The player in the under-the-gun position then bet out 2,700. The small blind folded and Johnson snap-raised all in.
The under-the-gun player went into the tank. He counted out calling chips and shuffled them while he stared at the flop.
Johnson's all in was a few thousand more than a pot bet leading the under-the-gun player to strongly consider calling.
Ultimately, the player folded and Johnson took down a decent pot.
