Johnson Uses His Time Wisely

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The players were one elimination away from a pay jump and action was moving slow. There were a few folds before it got to Luke Martinelli in the big blind. He took only a moment before announcing he was all in while having the big blind covered.

Mitchell Johnson was in the big blind and smiled as he checked his cards.

"This isn't a slow roll, its just the pay jump"

Martinelli smiled and the two exchanged some banter as they both understood the implications and the reason for the tank. Eventually the clock was called and after it was down to 10 seconds Johnson slammed in his remaining chips and the cards hit their backs.

Mitchell Johnson: A♠10♣
Luke Martinelli: A♦5♣

The full board ran out 10♦4♥7♠7♦9♠ and Johnson would get the double to stay alive past the pay jump.
