Tony Mercedes Cools Haddad
Nível 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Anthony "Tony Mercedes" Johnson was all in for his tournament life for 120,000 in the cutoff. John Haddad on the button made the call and covered Johnson.
Anthony Johnson: A♣A♥
John Haddad: K♠K♦
Haddad was crushed by Johnson's pocket aces and was drawing dead after the turn as the board ran out 4♦5♥6♣A♣4♦ to give Johnson aces full of fours to double Johnson up and to send Haddad to the rail.
Johnson, who is better known as Tony Mercedes in the music industry made a deep run in the Seniors Championship. He will be looking to go further this time round as a WSOP gold bracelet would compliment two Grammy Awards nicely.
