Johnson Sends Berg to the Rail
Action folded to Poker Hall of Fame member Linda Johnson in late position who came in for a raise. Only Lawrence Berg in the cutoff came along and the two saw a flop of 9?10?5?.
Johnson checked to Berg who quickly tossed in a bet that was called by Johnson, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 8?.
Johnson checked again to Berg who opted on another bet but this time, Johnson came back with a check-raise. Berg, acting quickly and decisively throughout the hand, tossed in the call to see the 10? river card.
Johnson eyed Berg's stack before she grabbed chips and tossed out a bet that would commit Berg's final chips.
Berg quickly called and watched as Johnson rolled over the A?Q?J?9?, good for the nut straight, prompting Berg to toss his cards toward the muck and exit the tournament area.
