Arnold Flips To Double
Picking up the action partway through preflop proceedings, a player in the small blind had a bet of 4,000 in front of him and was facing an all in from the covering stack of the cutoff. Tim Arnold in middle position also had a bet in front of him with a significant portion of his stack still behind. The small blind folded while Arnold immediately called, putting himself at risk.
Tim Arnold: 
Cutoff Player: 
Arnold was locked in a classic race for his tournament life and asked the dealer to put low cards on the table. That is not exactly what happened on the 
flop but that did not seem to bother Arnold, who now held a dominant lead. The 
turn did give the cutoff player a gutshot to broadway but it did not come in on the 
river, handing Arnold a full double.
