Armbrust Scores Double Up as Short Stack
Level 32
: Limits 150,000/300,000, 0 ante
John Armbrust needed to double up his chips as the short stack at the table, and he found an opportunity in a battle of the blinds.
After action folded to Armbrust in the small blind, he moved all in with K?3? against Vadim Shlez, who called while holding 7?5? in the big blind.
The board ran out K?8?6? on the flop, giving Armbrust top pair. Shlez, though, flopped an open-ended straight draw to provide some anxiety for Armbrust.
The J? on the turn and 3? on the river gave Armbrust the win, and some much-needed chips.
