Ian Johns
Ian Johns

Limit Hold'em

Ralph Perry opened with a raise from the hijack seat and Ian Johns raised again from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Perry who just called.

The flop was {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Perry checked to John's who bet, and Perry called.

On the {A-Clubs} turn, Perry check-called another bet from Johns. He checked called a third bet on the {Q-Spades} river. John turned up his {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for a full house and that would earn him the pot, chipping up to right around 270,000.
