Johnson Holds for a Huge Double Up

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Aditya Systla raised it up from middle position and was called by Clayton Kalisek in the hijack and Chris Johnson in the big blind. The dealer spread the flop of {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} which started a flurry of action.

Johnson checked to Systla who continued for 4,500. Kalisek called and Johnson check-raised to 20,000. Systla thought for a minute before sticking in a re-raise to 50,000. Kalisek frustratingly folded {x-Hearts}{9-Hearts} which he showed to half of the table before Johnson moved all in for 83,100. Systla quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Chris Johnson: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Aditya Systla: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Systla was unaware that two of his outs were already mucked. The {q-Spades} landed on the turn and the {k-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. Johnson improved to a full house to score a big double up through Systla.
