Armbrust Pulls Another Rabbit Out of the Hat
Level 14
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
John Armbrust open-jammed for the last 365,000 and Masashi Oya in the cutoff asked for a count, then moved all-in over the top. All four players behind folded and they were off to the races.
John Armbrust: A♦J♣
Masashi Oya: 9♦9♠
The 7♠5♠2♠ flop was bad news for Armbrust as Oya had a spade in his hand. However, he managed to pull off a miracle escape thanks to the 3♦ turn and 4♥ river.
Oya didn't see the wheel and started to celebrate before it dawned on him, as his stack plummeted below three big blinds once more.
