Johnston Outkicks Beliauskas in Three-Way Pot
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Tero Laurila made a raise to 700,000 from under the gun and Vidmantas Beliauskas called in the small blind. Mark Johnston also tossed in the required chips from the big blind and the three saw a flop of A♠2♣Q♦.
Beliauskas led out for 300,000 chips, which Johnston raised to 750,000. Laurila tanked for a while before folding, after which Beliauskas made the call.
Johnston tossed in another 400,000 chips on the 3♣ turn and Beliauskas check-called. Both players then checked on the J♣ river, and Beliauskas tabled A♥8♥ for top pair.
Johnston played the same pair, but with A♦10♥ he had the better kicker and raked in the pot.
