Stephen Johnson

Aleksey Filatov raised from under the gun and Stephen Johnson moved all in next to act for 35,000. It folded back around to Filatov and he called.

Filatov: AdKd5d2h
Johnson: AcJs8c6d

The flop came 8s4c3d to pair Johnson’s eight while Filatov flopped the nut low. Johnson improved to trip eights on the 8d turn but Filatov made a diamond flush on the 7d river to scoop the pot and send Johnson out in eighth place.

Aleksey Filatov – 410,000 (21 BB)
Stephen Johnson – Eliminated in 8th Place ($2,600)
