Johnson Gets the Triple Up
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Dave Stann opened to 40,000 from late position and Tim Kovacic three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack. Bert Johnson moved all in for his remaining 119,000 on the button and both players called behind.
Action was checked from the 10♥3♦2♥ flop, to the 9♦ turn and down to showdown after the 6♥ river was placed.
Bert Johnson: A♥10♣
Tim Kovacic: K♠J♠
Dave Stann: A♠K♦
Johnson took the pot having flopped a pair of tens which was good enough to secure him the triple.
Stann remarked, "How do you do that with Ace-Ten?" with another player asking, "Did the hearts scare you?"
