Johnson Races Toward the Lead
Level 25
Marco Johnson: 10x5x2x/Ax8xAx4x
William Burke: 5x3xXx/6x6x9xAx
Several bets were already in the middle on sixth street with each player showing a pair on board. Marco Johnson had the lead and bet, which got a call from William Burke.
On seventh street, Burke accidentally checked thinking he was first to act, but then faced a bet from Johnson, who still had the betting lead. Burke called to see Johnson's eight-five for the winner. Burke flashed two of his hole cards which made a nine-six, then sent them into the muck.
