Shared Pain: Ben Johnson Finishes 9th

[user22113]

Perhaps every player at the table had felt Ben Johnson's pain. Johnson was left with only the ante on this hand and easy pickings for a group attack. But Vinnie Procopio (UTG) started the ball rolling by stepping away from the table saying, 'I'm out. Good luck.' Out of turn and without looking at his cards, Chau Giang said, 'I will fold for you.' And the cards flew into the muck, player by player. The blinds, Bill Edler (SB) called an JC Tran checked.

Both blinds checked down the board of {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

.

Edler's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

was good enough to take it.

Ben Johnson 9th place $121,500
