Armbrust Enters the Wrong Tournament, Makes the Final Table

Nível 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.

Armbrust Scores Double Up as Short Stack

Nível 32 : Limits 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

John Armbrust needed to double up his chips as the short stack at the table, and he found an opportunity in a battle of the blinds.

After action folded to Armbrust in the small blind, he moved all in with K♥3♦ against Vadim Shlez, who called while holding 7♠5♠ in the big blind.

The board ran out K♣8♦6♣ on the flop, giving Armbrust top pair. Shlez, though, flopped an open-ended straight draw to provide some anxiety for Armbrust.

The J♣ on the turn and 3♣ on the river gave Armbrust the win, and some much-needed chips.

The hands were turned up and the dealer put the inconsequential 9♥ out on the river to make it official as what began as an accidental registration in the wrong event ends with a 5th place finish for $32,840.

Raul Celaya Eliminated in 4th Place ($45,301)

Nível 32 : Limits 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

Raul Celaya raised in early position with 6♦6♣, and was called by Vadim Shlez, who held 3♥3♦ in the small blind. The big blind folded, putting Celaya and Shlez heads up to the flop.

The dealer placed 7♠3♣Q♦ on the board, and Shlez checked bottom set. Celaya bet, but was promptly check-raised by Shlez.

“I don’t think you have the queen,” said Celaya, who made the call.

The turn produced 2♦, which Shlez bet.

Celaya went into deep thought, counting out his remaining chips and cracking jokes with the players at the table, before making the call. He saw the bad news knowing he was down to two outs when Shlez tabled his hand.

The river brought out 9♣, which sent Celaya to the rail in fourth place for $45,301.
