Johnson Goes Runner-Runner

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Eric Blair started the day off on a hot streak and was hitting all the cards throughout the first level. Daniel Johnson three-bet to 14,100 on top of Blair's early position raise of 3,000. Blair then moved all in over the top and Johnson put in his remaining 4,000. Players revealed their hands and Johnson was at risk.

Daniel Johnson: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Eric Blair: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The flop came down {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Blair was still ahead. The turn came the {k-Spades}, giving Blair a set, and Johnson needed a spade. The river did just that as the {2-Spades} landed, giving Johnson the flush and a double-up through Blair.

The action folded around to Alexandre Reard on the button who shoved all in for 5,400. Erik Seidel reraised to 9,600 from the small blind and the big blind mucked his cards. Reard just recently lost a large pot to Seidel's nut flush and was left with under five big blinds.

Erik Seidel: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Alexandre Reard: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Seidel took a stranglehold on the pot with top two pair. The {6-Clubs} on the turn left Reard drawing dead to the {k-Spades} on the river. Seidel stacked the rest of Reard's chips to climb to nearly 140,000 chips.

Damian Salas
Damian Salas

Ty Reiman raised it up to 2,500 from under the gun and Patrick Truong called from the small blind. Damian Salas was in the big blind and tanked for nearly two minutes before putting in a three-bet to 8,200. Reiman four-bet shipped all in and Truong quickly got out of the way, with Salas instantly calling off his 31,000 chips.

Damian Salas: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Ty Reiman: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Salas was well out front with his pocket aces and the flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} was safe thus far. The {a-Hearts} on the turn gave Salas a set and the {10-Hearts} on the river improved him to a full house, securing a full double-up.
