Johnson Cracks Kings and Aces; Claims Chip Lead!

Facing a raise and an all-in reraise in front of him Marco Johnson put in the four-bet, making it 24,000 to go. The action folded back to the original raiser who also moved all in for an additional 27,000 more. Johnson went into the tank and did some math and decided to make the call with pocket tens but was in trouble as he was up against both pocket aces and pocket kings.

However the board of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} gave Johnson a miraculous two-outer to scoop the pot, eliminate two players and storm to the chip lead with 144,000 in chips!
