Big O
Marco Johnson opened to 25,000 first to act before Philip Sternheimer potted to 90,000 from the cutoff. On the button, Jon Turner jammed for 311,000. After a long tank and some calculations, Johnson put in the call as the covering stack and Sternheimer called off for 130,000 total.
Philip Sternheimer: A♥K♥4♦3♠2♥ 
Jon Turner: A♦K♦10♠8♥2♦
Marco Johnson: A♠Q♠Q♣J♥2♣
The 10♦8♠5♠ flop gave Turner top two pair while all players had the same low draw. The 9♣ turn gave Johnson the nut straight as the 5♦ completed the board to change nothing as Johnson scooped a huge one and took out two opponents.
