Ifs and Buts
Action folded around to the player in the hijack and he shoved all in for 166,000, which was called by the player in the cutoff. Nic Johnson then moved all in over the top from the button, inspiring the cutoff to fold 
face up.
Showdown
Johnson: 
Hijack: 
The player in the hijack called for a six, but couldn't catch one as the board ran out 
. However, the nine on the flop prompted a big f-bomb from the cutoff, who folded what would have been a set. As the old saying goes: "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas."
