Three Kings Not Enough for Johnston

Berry Johnston
Berry Johnston
In a hand we caught on the turn, Berry Johnston check-called in for his last 1,400 on a board of {Q-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Johnston: {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

When the river brought a brick, Johnston's kings couldn't beat his opponent's straight, and Johnston had to cash in his last add-on chip for another 2,500.
