David Armintrout opened for 11,000 only to have Mark Johnson three-bet to 25,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Armintrout and he called to see a flop. Armintrout checked, Johnson bet 22,000, and Armintrout check-raised to 60,000.
Johnson responded by moving all in and Armintrout, who had 15,000 or so back, quickly called off.

Johnson:
Johnson seemed dejected that his aces had been cracked, but his spirits were lifted when the dealer burned and turned the to give him a bigger set. Armintrout needed the case six to stay alive, but it wasn’t in the cards as the blanked on the river instead.
Mark Johnson - 165,000
David Armintrout - Busted
