Home“It is what it is” declared Kevin Johnson who is fighting on in this main event but has one of the shortest stacks at this point of the tournament.
Against pocket tens with ace-jack he needed one overcard on the board to survive during a pre-flop all-in.
Flop Q♣ Q♦ 6♣ and turn 5♦ weren’t the cards he was looking for but an ace on the river extended his stay as he doubled up to around 4,000 plus.
Some 2-3 hands later, he was all-in pre-flop once again and was holding the cowboys. Unfortunately (or fortunately, not the bullets) he was against Fu-Bang Huang (Taiwan), who exactly the same hand. Johnson remains in contention but has a lot to work to do after a split pot and now with 4,800.
