I have several friends who are Minnesota Vikings fans, and if I asked them how Brad Johnson played today I'd likely hear a long series of expletives followed by them slamming down the phone. Which would keep me from interrupting them to say, "Wait wait, I'm not talking about the quarterback..."
No, I'm talking about Brad JOHNSON, who won tonight's $200K poker tournament and definitely had the better day of the two Brads. He hovered around the top of the leaderboard through most of the evening, and then seized control when he knocked out Tmay_420 with AQ against AJ and dry_benefit when he flopped trip sixes. He had a huge chip lead against jjjucifer when their heads-up battle began and quickly extended it until he was up by nearly a 4-1 margin. The end came when Brad JOHNSON flopped a (very modest) top pair with 3-6 and jjjuicifer pushed with 5-4 and an open-ended straight draw. The board didn't provide any of the 14 outs jjjuicifer needed and he ended as our runner-up, winning $26,500. And for winning tonight's event Brad JOHNSON won $45,000.
