Ladies Love Johnson

From the cutoff, Ryan Young raised to 2,000. The small blind, Brad Johnson, reraised to 6,250. Young then moved all in for 49,000 and Johnson made the call.

Young: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Johnson: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

The flop was {J-Clubs} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} giving Young a gutshot to Broadway and still two overcards. Johnson had a gutter himself and still the best hand.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and then the river the {9-Hearts}, giving Johnson his straight and the best hand.

Young was eliminated and Johnson moved up to 102,000 on the hand.
