Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Berry Johnston

Berry Johnston raised to 11,000 in the hijack and John Smitson called in the big blind.

On the flop of {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Smitson put Johnston all in for his remaining 4,000 and Johnston called.

Berry Johnston: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}
John Smitson: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The turn of {9-Clubs}, did not help matters for Johnston, but the river {a-Spades} gave Johnston a pair of aces to take the high and a three-two low for the best hand and the 1986 WSOP Main Event Champion doubled up.
