Johnson Sends Berg to the Rail
Action folded to Poker Hall of Fame member Linda Johnson in late position who came in for a raise. Only Lawrence Berg in the cutoff came along and the two saw a flop of 9♣10♠5♦.
Johnson checked to Berg who quickly tossed in a bet that was called by Johnson, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 8♠.
Johnson checked again to Berg who opted on another bet but this time, Johnson came back with a check-raise. Berg, acting quickly and decisively throughout the hand, tossed in the call to see the 10♣ river card.
Johnson eyed Berg's stack before she grabbed chips and tossed out a bet that would commit Berg's final chips.
Berg quickly called and watched as Johnson rolled over the A♥Q♣J♣9♥, good for the nut straight, prompting Berg to toss his cards toward the muck and exit the tournament area.
