Michael Johnson Passes 200K

With the board reading {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} on the river, Michael Johnson checked, the button moved all in for 20,000 into a pot that had already swelled to over 60,000. Johnson (not the sprinter) insta-called.

The button turned over {Q-?} {Q-?}. Johnson exclaimed "YESSSSS!" and proudly tabled his {A-?} {A-?}.

After the hand, Johnson was up to 201,000.
