Anthony "Tony Mercedes" Johnson was all in for his tournament life for 120,000 in the cutoff. John Haddad on the button made the call and covered Johnson.
Anthony Johnson: A♣A♥
John Haddad: K♠K♦
Haddad was crushed by Johnson's pocket aces and was drawing dead after the turn as the board ran out 4♦5♥6♣A♣4♦ to give Johnson aces full of fours to double Johnson up and to send Haddad to the rail.
Johnson, who is better known as Tony Mercedes in the music industry made a deep run in the Seniors Championship. He will be looking to go further this time round as a WSOP gold bracelet would compliment two Grammy Awards nicely.
