Johnson and Tran Tangle Again

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

One orbit ago, Jason Johnson raised from under the gun and went to a flop with Theo Tran in the big blind, resulting in a big pot that went to the river and eventually made it's way to Johnson's stack. The action repeated itself again in this recent tangle.

Johnson made it 3,200 from under the gun and only Tran called in the big blind. The flop was {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Tran check-called Johnson's bet of 3,700. The dealer flipped over {10-Diamonds} for the turn and Tran check-called again; this time the bet was 7,300. The river was the {k-Spades} and the trend continued. Tran checked, Johnson made it a hefty 22,300, and Tran made the call.

Johnson flipped over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a flopped set and Tran announced queens as he turned over {q-Hearts}{q-}. As Johnson raked in the chips the table commented on how hot he is running and how he always holds a strong hand. "It's never a bluff. He just has it every time."
