Ben Shannon raises to 5,000 from middle position and gets called by a short-stacked Mitchell Johnson in the big blind. 

On the flop, Johnson checks and Shannon bets enough to cover Johnson’s remaining 12,000 chips.

Johnson thinks briefly and then commits his stack, trailing.

The board completes bringing Shannon trip aces to send Johnson’s hand to the muck and Johnson to the rail.

Ben Shannon – 201,000 (80 bb)
Micthell Johnson – eliminated
