Armbrust Adds to Stack with AK
Level 16
: Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
John Armbrust had a nice hand to add chips to his stack near the midpoint of Level 16.
Armbrust raised in middle position, and was called by Dana Davidson, who began the day as the tournament chip leader, and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Erick Lindgren, who was on the button.
The flop produced 3♦K♥J♣, and Armbrust put out a continuation bet, which Davidson called and Lindgren folded. The turn brought the A♣, which Armbrust bet. Davidson then raised and Armbrust quickly called.
The river saw 5♥, which put two possible straights on the board. The action slowed after both players checked. Armbrust tabled A♠K♦, and Davidson mucked his hand.
