Vongxaiburana Spikes the River to Take Three-Quarters Off Johnson
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised to 320,000 under the gun and Marco Johnson called on the button.
The flop came A♦7♠5♠ and Vongxaiburana checked. Johnson then bet 480,000 and Vongxaiburana raised to 1,200,000. Johnson announced pot and Vongxaiburana quickly put in his last 5,440,000.
Veerachai Vongxaiburana: A♥9♠8♠3♣2♣ 
Marco Johnson: A♣J♠J♦3♦2♠
Both players had the same low, while Johnson was ahead with his pair of aces, jack-kicker and poised to take three-quarters of the massive pot. "No spades," Johnson said as the 10♦ fell on the turn, but the J♥ river gave Vongxaiburana a straight as Johnson shot out of his seat before cutting out the chips to give to Vongxaiburana.
