Arbaugh the New Chip Leader

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Brian Arbaugh
Brian Arbaugh

On the last hand before the break, preflop action saw William Thomas open under the gun and receive three calls, two of which were from Brian Arbaugh in the hijack and Pete Theodocion in the small blind. The flop was {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and action checked to Arbaugh, who bet 11,000 and was check-raised to 30,000 by Theodocion.

Action folded back to Arbaugh and he called, bringing the turn {9-Hearts}. Theodocion continued on the turn {9-Hearts} with another 35,000, sending Arbaugh into the tank as time expired in the level. Arbaugh eventually found a call as the room cleared and the river came {k-Spades}. Theodocion jammed for his last 52,500 and Arbaugh thought for well over a minute before finding a call.

"Good call," said Theodocion, tabling {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the missed gutshot straight draw. Arbaugh showed {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and took down the pot with his two jacks, increasing his stack to over 350,000 in the process to give him the largest stack in the room with 51 players now remaining.
