Celaya Doubles Up Through Armbrust
Level 30
: Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
John Celaya found himself as the short stack when action resumed in Level 31, but found a good spot to get in his chips.
John Armbrust, the second biggest stack at the table, raised preflop with J?J?. Action folded to Celaya, who was in the big blind with K?Q? and made the call.
The flop of Q?10?9? brought fireworks after Celaya checked. Armbrust bet, then Celaya check-raised. Armbrust responded with a re-raise with an open-ended straight, and Celaya moved all in and ahead with top pair.
The 6? came on the turn, followed by 3? on the river to give Celaya the win.
