Marco Johnson had just been decimated by Larry Tull in a three-bet pot in which Tull flopped a wheel against Johnson's aces, was left short. He found one chop to stay alive, but was at risk again the following hand.
David Bach raised from the cutoff and Sterling Lopez called on the button. Johnson called all in for 80,000 from the small blind, and Sebastian Pauli came along from the big blind.
On the J♦3♠2♠ flop, Pauli bet into the 60,000 side pot and his opponents folded.
Marco Johnson: Q♦J♠10♠4♥
Sebastian Pauli: 6♠5♠4♣2♥
Johnson flopped top pair and the superior flush draw against Pauli's bottom pair, wrap, and low draw.
The 9♠ turn gave Johnson the flush and no low was made yet. However, Pauli spiked a one-outer to scoop as the 4♠ landed on the river, giving Pauli a straight flush to eliminate Johnson in brutal fashion.
After a very active Triple Draw round at another table, Jesse Lonis has become the chip leader.
