Johnson Flops the Joint to Bust Rotholz
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Shawn Rice and Noah Kelley both limped in before Hal Rotholz moved all in for 81,000 on the button. Marco Johnson then announced pot in the small blind, and Rice and Kelley got out of the way.
Hal Rotholz: A♣Q♥8♣3♣2♦ 
Marco Johnson: A♥K♥K♦J♥6♣
Johnson flopped the nut straight on K♣Q♦10♦, and the rest of the board ran out 4♥5♥ to send Rotholz to the rail.
Igor Zektser, who won the $1,500 Big O event earlier this series, was also eliminated shortly after coming back from break.
