Action folded to Christopher Johnson, who opened to 60,000 from the Hi-jack. Seated right next to him, Robert Douras three-bet to 160,000. Back to Johnson, who moved all in for 635,000 in total. Douras made the call in a heartbeat.
Christopher Johnson: 10♠10♦
Robert Douras: A♠K♣
It was a classic coinflip confrontation, and Johnson’s pocket pair was up for the task; he doubled through Douras on the J♠3♠2♥5♣7♠ board. The stacks were now 750,000 for Douras, and roughly 1,400,000 for Johnson.
This journalist sat down to report the hand, but in the middle of it, I noticed commotion at the same table. Once again, it was an all-in pre-flop clash between the same two players:
Christopher Johnson: A♣K♠
Robert Douras: A♠A♥
The board ran out 7♦9♦5♦8♠4♥ and Douras got most of his stack back.
Robert Douras: 1,600,000
Christopher Johnson: 700,000
