Tricky Turn Decision

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Shane Patreau opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 800. After two calls from middle position from both Jason Gabriel and Mark Williams, a call from Brandan Brewer on the button, and Chester Mead from the small blind, Billy Johnson decided on a re-raise to 2,800 from the big blind. Patreau, Brewer, and Mead all elected to call.

Four players saw a flop of J83.

A check from Mead was followed by a bet of 3,500 from Johnson. Patreau re-raised to 7,700. Action folded around to Johnson who elected to call.

A 2 fell on the turn, bringing a potential flush, and Johnson checked. Patreau pushed every one of his remaining 19,500 chips into the middle, and Johnson entered the tank.

After some thought, Johnson decided QQ was not good enough, and open-mucked his hand. Patreau showed the critical A.
