Faraut Cracks Aces to Bust Johnson
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Patrick Faraut opened to 800 under the gun and was met with a three-bet by Anton Johnson in middle position to 2,500.
Action folded to Laurent Michot in the big blind, who reached for chips and produced a cold four-bet to 9,500.
Faraut pondered his options for a moment, and announced all-in for around 36,000. Johnson got the rest of his chips quickly in the middle, while Michot folded, with Johnson at risk.
Anton Johnson: A?A?
Patrick Faraut: J?J?
Faraut had run into Johnson's aces and before the flop Faraut asked the poker gods for a jack.
Sure enough the flop came out 9?J?10? to give Faraut top set and leaving Johnson drawing thin.
The 3?6? completed the runout, sending the unfortunate Johnson to the rail.
