Johnson KO's Bari
Santiago Nadal opened to 13,000 in early position, Sergei Stazhkov called in the cutoff, Chris Johnson flatted on the button, and Alberto Bari moved all in for 62,000 out of the small blind. Nadal folded, Stazhkov tank-folded, and Johnson quickly called.

Bari was well ahead, and extended his lead when the flop fell . Johnson still held an open-ended straight draw, and could make trips with runner-runner tens or a flush with runner-runner clubs, but the on the turn changed little.
The river was the , however, and Johnson made Broadway. Bari responded by slapping the felt with two hands, but quickly collected himself and wish the players luck. He hit the rail, while Johnson, who busted in the quarter finals of the Mix Max event, now sits with 860,000 chips.
