Malek Eliminated by Johnson Shortly After Double Up

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A few hands after surviving an all-in, Hoss Malek found himself in the same position, only this time it wasn't in his favor.

After a {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop, Malek called a 5,000 bet from his opponent Brian Johnson.

Johnson bet 7,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn and Malek called.

The River was a {3-Clubs} and Johnson tossed out a 25,000 chip to put Malek all in. "I don't want to but I also cant fold," Malek said before pushing all his chips in.

Malek flopped two pair with the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} but was dominated by Johnson's higher two pair of {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
