Rivered Ten for Johnson

Ryan Hemmel opened to 80,000 from middle position and Thomas Johnson made the call from the big blind.

The flop fell down {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Johnson fired out a bet of 200,000 only to have Hemmel move all in for over 1,250,000. Johnson made the call for his 635,000 total and we were off to a showdown.

Johnson: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Hemmel: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Johnson would need to find an ace or ten to stay alive, and after the {3-Spades} landed on the turn, he was looking at a final table bubble.

As his wife rushed past the blogging desk to see what fate the deck had for her husband, the {10-Hearts} spiked on the river to send Johnson to 1,505,000 as Hemmel slips to 575,000 in chips.
