Johnson Survives

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A short-stacked Billy Johnson opened the pot to 3,500 on the button and the player in the big blind re-raised, leaving Johnson to a decision for his remaining stack.

Johnson did in fact call, showing {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. He had his opponent's {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} in bad shape and Johnson held through the {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to up his stack to about 19,000.
