Hands and Storylines:
Johnston survives with low
Berry Johnson was all in on third street and a woman was all in on fourth street. Another player called with four spades and appeared to have a great chance at knocking both out. He hit his spade flush on fifth street, but Johnston held a low draw. The woman had a pair of queens and a flush draw, but couldn't do better than the flush already out there. Johnston hit his low on sixth street to chop the pot and finish the hand with 8,000 chips.
Violette knocked out
Cyndy Violette was eliminated when she ran into two opponents with a made low hand and pair of jacks. Violette had a chance at beating both hands, but couldn't catch any of her outs.
Hellmuth's boat bests Downing's set of aces
Phil Hellmuth raised T.J. on seventh street after calling on him down on the previous streets. Downing made the call with a set of aces he got on fifth street, but saw that Hellmuth had fives full of sevens to take down the pot. Downing, who is the poker room manager at Tuscany Casino, made his way to the rail after the hand.
