Chris Johnson Eliminated by Ari Engel

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Ari Engel raised to 7,500 from middle position, Chris Johnson three-bet to 20,000 from the hijack, and Engel called.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Engel checked to Johnson who continued for 25,000. Engel check-raised to 73,000, Johnson reraised all in for about 185,000, and Engel called.

Engel: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Johnson: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Engel was in the lead with top two pairs, but Johnson had flush and straight outs. However, neither the {3-Hearts} turn nor {9-Diamonds} river helped Johnson, securing the first elimination of the tournament for Engel.
