Johnson Spikes River to Bust Klodnicki
Level 15
Limit Hold'em
Marco Johnson opened on the button and then called after Chris Klodnicki three-bet out of the small blind.
Klodnicki continued on a flop of 7♠J♣6♠. Johnson responded with a raise only to see Klodnicki move the remainder of his chips into the middle. Not needing to call much more, Johnson duly put his opponent at risk.
Chris Klodnicki: K♠J♠
Marco Johnson: A♠7♥
Klodnicki was in excellent position to secure a full double, needing to fade a non-spade ace or seven. The 8♣ turn changed nothing but the A♦ river was a dagger to Klodnicki, sending him to the rail short of the money.
