Johns Finds Aces and Overtakes the Chip Lead

Level 27
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Michael Johns was first to act and raised to 250,000. Kyle Cartwright on the button then three-bet to 700,000. After the blinds folded, Johns four-bet all in for his stack of 3,550,000. Carwright said "I dont think I can fold this" before making the call to put Johns at risk.
Michael Johns: A?A?
Kyle Cartwright: A?Q?
Cartwright ran into the aces of Johns, but the 5?8?Q? flop did give him two outs to crack the aces. But the 9? on the turn and 6? on the river was no help, giving the pot to Johns and over taking the chip lead.
