Johnson Scoops Battistone
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Veerachai Vongxaiburana limped in the cutoff and Marco Johnson did the same in the small blind. Brian Battistone checked his big blind option to see the 2♣3♠7♣ flop.
All three players checked and the 7♠ turn hit the table. Johnson led out for 150,000, with Battistone calling while Vongxaiburana folded.
Johnson led out again on the A♠ river, this time for 500,000. After taking some time, Battistone stuck in the call. Johnson tabled K♠10♦8♠5♠4♠ for a flush and a wheel low, claiming the whole pot as Battistone shook his head while mucking his cards.
