After dominating online tournaments with numerous deep finishes in Sunday's biggest events, Johnson branched out into the live circuit. At the 2007 World Series of Poker, Johnson cashed five times with one final-table finish. He scored his biggest cash yet at the 2008 World Series of Poker when he finished in a heart-breaking second place in Event 48 for more than $490,000; losing the final hand for the bracelet with AA versus Alexandre Gomes' A10.
Look for Johnson to keep making waves in the future.
