Johnson Gets Three-Bet, So He Tries Again
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Christopher Johnson raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and was called by Fabian Donovan on the button before Tuan Le put in a three-bet to 425,000 in the big blind. Both Johnson and Donovan folded.
The next hand, Johnson raised again to 80,000 and Donovan called. Hong Pham also called in the big blind as they went three-handed to the 9♦5♦A♦ flop.
Johnson continued for 75,000 and only Donovan called. The turn came the 7♥ and Johnson fired out another 250,000.
Donovan called again, and both players checked the 8♥ river. Johnson then showed J♥10♠ for a rivered straight and Donovan flashed A♠10♦ before mucking as the two opponents laughed about the hand.
