Armstrong Takes From Vamplew

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

On the 24th hand of the unofficial final table, David Vamplew raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, and Jamie Armstrong (button) and Brandon Meyers (big blind) both called.

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Meyers checked, and Vamplew fired out 60,000. Only Armstrong called.

The pair checked after the turn ({7-Spades}) and the river ({4-Spades}), and Vamplew showed {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines. It was no good though as Armstrong showed {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

Michalowski Doubles Through Armstrong

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On the 43rd hand of the unofficial final table, Jamie Armstrong opened to 48,000 in the cutoff, Rafal Michalowski moved all in for 344,000 in the big blind, and Armstrong called.

Armstrong: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Michalowski: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop didn't help Armstrong, and he was drawing dead when the {j-Spades} turned. A meaningless {q-Hearts} completed the board, and Michalowski doubled to 746,000 chips.

Armstrong dropped down to 465,000.
