Roxanne Johnson

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The very next hand the player under the gun moved all in for 52,000 and the previous player who was playing online called all in from middle position for 4,000 and Jamie Dwan in the hijack called both.

"Good luck everyone times two," stated the online player.

Middle Position Player: 8♣7♣
Under-the-Gun Player: A♥7♥
Jamie Dwan: A♠J♦

The board ran out with a lot of hope for the middle position player with 6♣2♥10♠4♣9♥ and despite all of the draws Dwan's ace high with the better kicker prevailed.
