Johnston Flops the Joint

Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jim Paulus opened to 450,000 in early position and Chris Johnston three-bet jammed a stack of 1,300,000 from the cutoff. Paulus called with a bigger stack.
Chris Johnston: A?K?
Jim Paulus: J?J?
The flop landed Q?J?10? to give Johnston the nuts as Paulus was left with a no-good set before the board finished out 5?6? to earn Johnston a dramatic double.
