Frank Johnson Eliminated in 5th Place ($15,000)

Josh Noy

Level 27 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Frank Johnson moved his last 625,000 into the middle from under the gun, and Ian Auvil called in the small blind. Gorav Sangal came along in the big blind, and the 10♠8♥9♥ flop was fanned out.

Auvil and Sangal checked to the K♠ turn, where another pair of checks led to the 9♣ river.

One last check from Auvil was met with a bet of 900,000 from Sangal. Auvil folded while showing his A♦Q♠.

Frank Johnson: A♥J♠ All in
Gorav Sangal: 9♠9♦

Sangal revealed his quad nines, sending a smiling Johnson to the payout desk in fifth position.
