Johnson Spikes River to Bust Klodnicki

Level 15

Limit Hold'em
Marco Johnson opened on the button and then called after Chris Klodnicki three-bet out of the small blind.
Klodnicki continued on a flop of 7?J?6?. Johnson responded with a raise only to see Klodnicki move the remainder of his chips into the middle. Not needing to call much more, Johnson duly put his opponent at risk.
Chris Klodnicki: K?J?
Marco Johnson: A?7?
Klodnicki was in excellent position to secure a full double, needing to fade a non-spade ace or seven. The 8? turn changed nothing but the A? river was a dagger to Klodnicki, sending him to the rail short of the money.
