Billy Johnson Flops a Straight and Chips Up to Over 22K

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With the board reading {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}, Billy Johnson made a small bet and his opponent check raised for his entire stack. Johnson insta-called and tabled the {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped nut straight. The other player dejectedly showed his {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and wrapped the table, saying "nice hand sir." The {2-Spades} on the river brought no help and Johnson chipped up to over 22,000 in chips.
