Michael Johns Eliminated in 2nd Place ($36,126)
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Michael Johns limped in on the button and called a raise from Cody Stanford to see a 9♦J♣4♠ flop. After the flop Johns check-called a bet of 300,000 from Stanford.
The turn brought the K♠ and Stanford fired out 900,000, and Johns quickly moved all in, which was snap called by Stanford.
Michael Johns: 10♥8♥ 
Cody Stanford: 9♥9♠
Stanford flopped a set but would have to fade Johns open ended straight draw to claim the title. He managed to do just that as the river brought the 3♣ to eliminate Johns in second place.
