Written by Kirk | May 20, 2025 5:47:53 AM

Short-stacked Jeffrey Johnson moved all in preflop for 175k, then Pho Vo shoved over the top for over 700k, and Tony Clinton made the call to put both of them at risk. 

Johnson: A♦5♣
Vo: 4♣4♠
Clinton: A♣Q♦

Vo was still in the lead on the flop of J♠T♠8♠ with his fours and flush draw, but the turn K♥ gave Clinton a Broadway straight to jump ahead. The river bricked with the 2♥ and Clinton was shipped the pot, eliminating both opponents. 

Clinton - 2.2mil
Johnson - 0
Vo - 0
