Steve Alexander (pictured left) raised to 8,000 on the button only to have current Kimo Sabe Mezcal MSPT Season 9 Player of the Year points leader Aaron Johnson (right) three-bet all in for 40,000 from the small blind.

flop gave both players a flush draw, but of course Johnson was best in that department. Neither the

Steve Alexander - 155,000 (39 bb)
