Double-Double Gets Arnett Back in the Game

[user66118]

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

When the table folded around to her small blind, Kristy Arnett moved her last 1,700 lonely chips into the pot. The only player left to act was the big blind Lisa Parsons, and she considered for a minute before making the call to put Arnett at risk.

Showdown
Arnett: {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}
Parsons: {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts}

The board ran down {J-Spades} {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs} , and Arnett doubled back to 3,850. Two hands later, Joshua Weiss opened to 1,000 from middle position, and Arnett three-bet all in for 3,750 from the cutoff seat. When it came back around to Weiss, he made the call, and Arnett was in a race for her tournament life.

Showdown
Weiss: {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}
Arnett: {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}

Once more, the dealer granted Arnett salvation as the board came {J-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {4-Spades} . That earns her another crucial double up, back to 8,550 now and still fighting the good fight.
