Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Chris Johnson had been fairly quiet on Day 3, and as a result his stack dwindled. In what would ultimately be his final hand, Johnson raised to 40,000 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 250,000 from Andy Phan in the big blind. Johnson had 410,000 total and put it in. Phan called.
