Following Runner-Up Finish, Johnson Back At It

Level 2

Pot-Limit Omaha

From under the gun, Bill Chen limped in. Jason Mercier raised to 1,300 from the hijack seat and Marco Johnson called from the small blind. Lee Goldman called from the big blind and Chen also made the call.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs} and action checked around the table to see the {6-Clubs} land on the turn. Johnson bet 3,600 and one by one, everyone folded.

Last night, Johnson took second to Ronnie Bardah in Event 40: $2,500 Limit Hold'em - Six-Handed for $112,525. It was the third largest World Series of Poker score of his career and second runner-up finish.
