Charles Johnson opened to 125,000 from early position and Alexander Villa three-bet to 375,000 from the hijack. Johson put in the call.
The flop came 8?4?8?. Johnson check-called a continuation bet of 275,000 from Villa.
Both players checked the 2? turn, leading to the Q? river. Johnson checked and Villa bet 800,000.
Johnson thought about his decision for roughly 45 seconds before flicking in the call.
Johnson showed down 9?9? while Villa tabled A?Q? for a rivered queen to take down another big pot, leaving Johnson with roughly 15 big blinds in the process.
