Armbrust Enters the Wrong Tournament, Makes the Final Table
Level 32
: Limits 150,000/300,000, 0 ante
It's become apparent that John Armbrust entered this event believing that it was a $1,500 No Limit Hold 'Em event.
He thought the field was small but assumed that was due to most players being in the field of the Mystery Bounty event.
Upon taking his seat at his Day 1 table, he realized play was eight-handed which he thought was strange but didn't think much of it. But by the time play had begun, he had realized his mistake but it was already too late.
A simple mistake led to a WSOP final table with a real shot a bracelet.
These are the stories that make the WSOP so special.
