Johnston Flops the Jackpot
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
When PokerNews got to the table all the chips had gone in preflop between Billy Johnson in the small blind and the player in the big blind.
Billy Johnson: 7♥7♠ 
Big Blind: Q♠Q♥
Johnson started the hand with around 18,500 so he needed a lot of help from the dealer if he was to remain in the tournament. He found that help on the 7♦9♥4♥ flop. His set of sevens held up as the rest of the board ran out 4♣ 6♦. Johnston dragged in the pot at the expense of the player in the big blind.
