King High was No Good for Bai

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a board of Q438 Richard Bai in the big blind checked the hand over to Johnson in the hijack who opted to see a river.

The A fell and Bai took a stab for 30,000. Unfortunately for him, Johnson made a pretty swift call. Bai announced "King high" prompting Johnson to table A2. Johnson was ahead the whole way but rivered top pair for good measure.
