Double Elimination Vaults Johnson Into the Lead
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
After a raise by Joe Johnson from the hijack, David Urban shoved his last 100,000 or so from the cutoff and the action reached Tiago Da Silva Freitas Branco in the small blind. The Portuguese announced all in for around 200,000 and Johnson called.
David Urban: 
Tiago Da Silva Freitas Branco: 
Joe Johnson: 
The 
flop improved Johnson to a set and the 
turn and 
river kept the Brit in the lead to eliminate two opponents. Johnson jumped in the lead and there were suddenly just 19 players left.
