King Johnson

Kelly Kim opened from the hi-jack to 5,500 with both Marco Johnson and the small blind calling.

The flop of {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} was checked round to see a bet of 12,500 from the small blind called by Johnson, and Kim decided to pass.

The river {3-Hearts} was met with a 20,500 bet, which was check-called by the small blind after he stated, "If you have a king, its good!"

Johnson did indeed have a king and tabled his {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} to best his opponent's flashed {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Johnson has now surged to 170,000 in chips.
