Opponent: A♣5♣
John Armbrust: 8♣8♥
Armbrust was in the lead, but the flop gave his opponent something to work with as it came 3♣2♦5♥ to give his opponent a pair and a straight draw to go with his outs to an ace.
The 6♠ turn and the Q♠ river did not convert on any of the scare cards to award Armbrust the pot.
