Arbaugh Finds a Double
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Bergfors opened from the cutoff and Brian Arbaugh defended his big blind.
On the A♥J♠4♣ flop, Bergfors continued for 8,000 before Arbaugh clicked it to 20,000. Bergfors inquired about the size of Arbaugh's remaining stack before he quickly announced all in and Arbaugh snapped it off for 71,000 total.
Brian Arbaugh: 4♥4♦
Alex Bergfors: A♦6♥
Bergfors had paired his ace but Arbaugh flopped bottom set to take a commanding lead. The 5♥ turn sealed the double for Arbaugh as the Q♣ river changed nothing and Arbaugh dragged some much-needed chips, while Bergfors still retains a very comfortable stack as the largest at the table.
