Johnson Hits Running Clubs to Triple
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
With three players seeing a board of 10♠9♣8♠, Marco Johnson was all in from the cutoff for a bit under 1,000,000, Sergio Benso was all in from the small blind for less and they were up against Eric Tang who had both players covered from the button.
Sergio Benso: K♠8♣5♠3♣ 
Marco Johnson: Q♠Q♦J♣10♣
Eric Tang: K♦Q♣J♦4♥
Benso had a pair and a flush draw while both Johnson and Tang had the nut-straight. The rest of the board ran out K♣4♣ giving Johnson a running flush to scoop the pot, elimiante Benso and leave Tang short-stacked. Tang was unable to recover and was eliminated shortly after.
