Justin Armstrong opened the action with a raise to 600 in early position and action folded around to the big blind, who defended. The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and the big blind checked. Armstrong made a continuation-bet of 700 and the big blind called.

The turn was kc]. The big blind checked again and Armstrong continued, firing a second barrel for 1,200. The big blind called once more, bringing the river {2-Clubs} where both players checked to take the hand to showdown.

The big blind turned over {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for top pair and Armstrong showed {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. His six played and proved to be the difference between the two players' hands, earning him the pot with his top pair.
