Johnson's Straight Sends Borregaard to the Rail
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
With the pot sitting at around 15,000 and the board showing 3♠7♥9♥J♠, Mads Borregaard led out with a bet of 12,500, leaving himself with just 11,000 behind. Keith Johnson, sensing an opportunity, shoved all-in for roughly 29,000. Giovanni Salvatore, also in the mix, was left to ponder his decision, eventually folding after a lengthy tank.
The action returned to Borregaard, who rechecked his cards, paused for a moment, and then pushed all his chips into the middle, showing A♣A♠.
Johnson confidently turned over 10♣8♣, revealing a straight, and Borregaard quickly realized his tournament run had come to an end. The 2♣ river card changed nothing, and Johnson scooped the pot, sending Borregaard to the rail.
