Peixin Liu raised to 100,000 in the hijack, and Scott Johnson shoved all in from the cutoff.

Action folded back to Liu who asked for a count. Upon hearing the 620,000 total, Liu opted to call.

Johnson was in the lead holding {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} against Liu's {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. But that all changed when the flop came {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

The {10-Clubs} on the turn and {k-Diamonds} on the river sent Johnson home in 6th place, and give Liu the chip lead once again.
