Johnson Doubles Through Galfond

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Marco Johnson opened for 10,000 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 36,000 from Phil Galfond, who had the button. The flop came {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Johnson checked. Galfond bet 75,000 and quickly called when Johnson shoved for 99,000.

Galfond: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Johnson: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Johnson had flopped absolutely everything, the nuts plus the nut draw. Galfond needed a world of help and didn't find it, though the {9-Clubs} turn did give him outs for a flush. The {q-Hearts} river was a brick, though.
