Johnson Doubles Shirasawa's Big Blind Special
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With the flop reading 3♣8♥6♥, Marco Johnson had bet 7,800 chips into a pot of 10,200 from middle position, after a check from Kazuhiro Shirasawa in the big blind.
Shirasawa then jammed all in for 33,700, sending Johnson into the tank. Eventually, he made the call to put his Japanese opponent at risk.
Kazuhiro Shirasawa: 8♠3♠ 
Marco Johnson: 7♣6♣
The 5♦ turn brought Johnson a straight draw, but the 2♣ river did nothing to help Johnson, doubling up Shirasawa.
