Ace is Good For Armstrong
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Four players built a pot of around 6,000 as they saw a flop of 4♠8♣2♦. James Armstrong then bet 1,500 from the big blind and was called by an opponent in middle position, as well as the button.
Armstrong bet another 3,000 on the A♠ turn, and only the middle-position player called this time. Armstrong slowed down and checked the J♥ river, and his opponent took a moment before checking back.
Armstrong showed A♦7♦ for top pair, and his opponent mucked.
Robert Hawkenberry is also at this table, as is Brent Slaubaugh who is trying to improve on the stack he finished with yesterday.
