Johnston Flops a Set to Bust Aces
Perry Johnston raised to 2,500 from early position. Ran Ilani made the call in middle position, before a reraise to 7,000 came from late position. Johnston made the call while Ilani got out of the way.
On the 
flop, Johnston's opponent continued for 8,000. Johnston moved all in, and after a brief moment or two, his opponent, the at risk player, called, asking "Did you flop a set?" as she did so. "If you flopped a set you're good."
Opponent: 
Perry Johnston: 
His opponent was right about his hand, but not about her decision to call, as she was well behind and drawing thin with her tournament life on the line. The 
turn and 
river did nothing to change that, and she was sent to the rail while Johnston added to his stack, which has grown to be amongst the largest in the field.
