Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
John Johnston
John Johnston

While we were writing the last elimination hand, a monstrous pot was brewing between John Johnston and Kyle Norton. When we arrived, each player had already committed a million chips, and the board was completed {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Norton checked, and Johnston moved all in for 675,000. Norton tank-called, and could only shake his had at the sight of Johnston's {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

Some players started defending Johnston, saying he flopped a spade draw, but Norton and Nick "Panini" Curanovic were quick to point out that he only held one spade in his hand.

Johnston is now over 3 million chips, while Norton plummeted to 820,000.
