Aces For Johnson

On a {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop we found James Johnson all in with Adam Katz making the call.

Johnson: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Katz: {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The turn of the {10-Clubs} gave both players a sweat, but when the river landed the {7-Diamonds}, Johnson doubled through to 570,000 as Katz slipped to 160,000 in chips.

Mcteer Tumbles

Thomas Mcteer hits the rail
Thomas Mcteer hits the rail

Billy Griner opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and Thomas Mcteer made the call from the button.

Both players checked the {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} only to have Griner fired out 100,000 when the {7-Clubs} landed on the turn. Mcteer called for his remaining 24,000 and we were off to a showdown.

Griner: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Mcteer: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The river landed the meaningless {J-Spades} to see Mcteer eliminated as Griner climbs to 530,000 in chips.
