Christopher Johnson

Christopher Johnson open-shipped for 35,000 from under the gun, it folded to Craig Willis in the hijack, and he moved all in over the top to get folds from the rest.

Willis: QcQd
Johnson: 5h5d

Johnson was in a lot of trouble with the smaller pair and nothing changed on the AdJs7h flop. But he hit the two-out five on the 5s turn to take a big lead. Willis returned the favor with a two-out queen on the Qh river to send Johnson out.

Craig Willis – 410,000 (82 bb)
Christopher Johnson – Eliminated in 149th Place ($710)
