Marco Johnson Makes a Late Charge

And hitting a two-outer on the river doesn't hurt. Johnson and another player with a fairly deep stack got all their chips in the middle after the turn with the board reading {9-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. Johnson check-called the all in bet only to find that his pocket Aces had been outflopped by his opponent's pocket threes. But on the river Johnson spiked the {A-Hearts} to take down the pot and build his stack to 132,000.
