Michael Pesek Gets Knocked Out

[user108095]

Michael Pesek got his chips in the middle with the best hand but still lost the hand.

Pesek raised to 65,000 from under-the-gun and got re-raised to 167,000 by Travis Johnson on the button. Pesek shoved over the top for an additional 330,000 and Johnson tanked before finally making the call with {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

, which was behind Pesek's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

.

Johnson didn't take long to catch up though, hitting a set on a flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

. The turn and river brought the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and

{A-Hearts}

- no help to Pesek - who went home in 12th spot.
