Johnson Cracks Aces

Marco Johnson bumped the action to 2,600 from early position, and found a caller in the small blind.

The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and a check from his opponent followed. Johnson bet out 3,100, but his opponent quickly made it 10,000 to go.

Johnson then slid a stack of yellow 1,000-denomination chips into the pot to effectively put his opponent all in; his opponent obliged and the cards were tabled.

Johnson: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

The turn of the {K-Spades} was dropped from heaven for Johnson, putting him in the lead with two-pair.

When the river landed the {6-Clubs}, Johnson sent his opponent packing and he soared up to 132,000 in chips.
