Armbrust Doubles; Lonis Busts
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Biao Ding and John Armbrust got their chips in with the latter as the player at risk for 285,000.
John Armbrust: 10?10?
Biao Ding: A?J?
The 10?6?5? flop gave Armbrust top set while Ding had the nut flush. Armbrust locked up the double with the 6? turn to make the J? river meaningless.
One hand later, the blinds were up and Ding jammed the last seven blinds. Jesse Lonis called for fewer than that in the cutoff.
Jesse Lonis: K?9?
Biao Ding: J?J?
"Oh wow," Lonis instantly exclaimed and was rather surprised how strong Ding was.
The A?9?8?7?J? board provided just one inferior pair for Lonis and he fell in 26th place.
