Armbrust Doubles; Lonis Busts
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Biao Ding and John Armbrust got their chips in with the latter as the player at risk for 285,000.
John Armbrust: 10♦10♣
Biao Ding: A♠J♠
The 10♠6♠5♠ flop gave Armbrust top set while Ding had the nut flush. Armbrust locked up the double with the 6♣ turn to make the J♣ river meaningless.
One hand later, the blinds were up and Ding jammed the last seven blinds. Jesse Lonis called for fewer than that in the cutoff.
Jesse Lonis: K♣9♣
Biao Ding: J♣J♠
"Oh wow," Lonis instantly exclaimed and was rather surprised how strong Ding was.
The A♣9♠8♥7♠J♦ board provided just one inferior pair for Lonis and he fell in 26th place.
