We caught up with the action on fourth, when Johnson led with a bet, and Hennigan and Billirakis both called. Johnson bet again on fifth, and Hennigan raised. Billirakis three-bet, and the other two called. Billirakis moved all in with his last few thousand on the next street, and Johnson called. Hennigan raised it to a full bet, and Johnson called that as well. He check-called one last bet on the side, and it was time for a complicated showdown.
