Johnson Pays Off on the River

Level 2 : 200/400, 50 ante

Hold'em

Six players paid a bet to see a {3-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop. A player in early position bet, and Marco Johnson raised. Everyone else in the hand folded, and the original aggressor called.

The turn was the {2-Spades}, Johnson's opponent check-raised a bet, and Johnson called. The {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river, and Johnson called another bet, forced to muck when his opponent tabled {9-Spades}{4-Spades}.

The Pot No One Wanted

Level 1 : 150/300, 25 ante
Marco Johnson
Marco Johnson

There aren't too many huge pots this early in a limit tournament, but here's a fun one worth a mention.

Razz

Marco Johnson: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{6-}{6-}{9-} / {x-}
Noaya Kihara: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{q-}{a-}{10-} / {x-}

There was almost no action while the players checked through to seventh street amidst some giggles from the table at the runout for both players. Johnson ended up winning the pot when he showed {10-}{8-}{2-} for a ten-low. Kihara could not come close, showing a king in his hand and then mucking.
