Johnson All In

There's a special sort of silence which descends upon a table the first time a player puts his whole stack at risk, and halfway into the level it's Brian Johnson whose tournament was on the line. He saw a threeway flop of {9-Diamonds}

and when it checked to him in position, bet 400. One of his opponents passed but neighbour Josh Gould check-raised to 1,200. Call.

The turn: {2-Hearts}

Now Gould bet out 1,400, again called by Johnson.
The river: {K-Hearts}

Action slowed at this point - Gould eventually checked, and Johnson moved his remaining 1,825 in. A very long consider later, and Gould laid his hand down, propelling the Englishman with an unexpectedly American accent up over 8,000.
