Johnston Jousted Just Before Money Bubble

A player in middle position limped and action folded around to Berry Johnston on the button, who went all in for his last 50,000. Both blinds folded to original limper, who called.

"I got it Berry," Johnston's opponent said. He then tabled {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

Johnston tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Johnston was eliminated with less than 20 players to go before the money bubble burst.

As a side note, a tournament director announced that Johnston had cashed in at least one event for the past 30 years at the WSOP. This marks the first year during that time-span that Johnston did not cash.
