Budzakoski Dispatches Johnson

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aaron Johnson
Aaron Johnson

Nikola Budzakoski raised to 2,500 from under the gun, and was called by a player in middle position. Aaron Johnson three-bet to 9,000, leaving himself 700 behind. Budzakoski called and the middle position player folded.

Budzakoski quickly put Johnson's last 700 in on the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, and Johnson called it off.

Aaron Johnson: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Nikola Budzakoski: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Johnson's ace-queen had been outflopped by the ace-jack of Budzakoski, and although Johnson picked up a gutshot on the {k-Hearts} turn, Budzakoski rivered the nut flush with the {6-Hearts} river to eliminate the former HPT Player of the Year.
