 Raul Garcia was left short-stacked after losing straight-over-straight in the last hand before break. Action resumed on the 75k/150k blind levels and Garcia was dealt A3 suited. Chips quickly got all in preflop and A3 of hearts had the lead on a flop of 8♦J♦9♦ but the Q♠ hit the turn, giving Johnson the lead. The 5♥ on the river sent Garcia to the payout cage in 13th place.

Johnson - 3,500,000  
Garcia - 0
