Michael Johns Eliminated in 2nd Place ($36,126)
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Michael Johns limped in on the button and called a raise from Cody Stanford to see a 9?J?4? flop. After the flop Johns check-called a bet of 300,000 from Stanford.
The turn brought the K? and Stanford fired out 900,000, and Johns quickly moved all in, which was snap called by Stanford.
Michael Johns: 10?8? 
Cody Stanford: 9?9?
Stanford flopped a set but would have to fade Johns open ended straight draw to claim the title. He managed to do just that as the river brought the 3? to eliminate Johns in second place.
