Johnston Doubles; Still Short

We're not sure how 1986 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Berry Johnston got so short, but we do know that he just survived an all in.

We caught the action with three players in the hand with 4,000 in the middle. Johnston had shoved for his last 1,725 from the big blind, an early-position player folded, and a player in middle position made the call.

Johnston: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Johnston got it in good and was looking to dodge overs, which is exactly what he did as both the turn and river blanked for his opponent.
