River Gives Glazier Huge Double Through Johnson
We came on yet another huge hand — and really, most of them are huge here late on Day 5 of the World Series of Poker Main Event — this one pitting Jackie Glazier and Chris Johnson.

to pair the board. Johnson checked and Glazier announced she was betting all in. A lengthy count of her chips revealed her bet to be for 1.52 million, and Johnson tanked for a few minutes before finally making the call.

The large crowd on the rail exploded with shouts at the sight of the card while Johnson sat stoically. Eventually a many-years-later reprise of the "Aussie-Aussie-Aussie Oy-Oy-Oy" chant (a memorable part of 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem's run) erupted as Glazier's supporters could barely contain their excitement.
That hand catapults Glazier up around 4 million while Johnson swiftly drops down to about 140,000.
