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 482. 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 A7 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.
