Johnson Staying Alive

Level 24
Big O
Honesty Johnson limped under the gun when and when it folded to the big blind David Nepom, he raised to 64,000. Johnson made the call to see a flop.
When the flop came Q?K?6? Nepom put Johnson all in for 100,000 and he made the call.
Honesty Johnson: K?J?10?8?6?
David Nepom: A?A?10?3?2?
It was Nepom ahead on the flop, but when the board ran out 3? on the turn and 9? on the river, it gave Johnson the nut straight and secure a double up.
