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.

Short-stacked to start Day 1, Paul Bishow was looking for an opportunity to double up. He found it from the small blind, and raised $4,000 of his dwindling stack. The double up would be difficult, though, as the big blind was Yueqi Zhu, winner of one WSOP bracelet, 160 WSOP cashes for $3,238,023, and third place in last year's event.
Zhu called, and they took a flop of A♣Q♣8♣. Bishow check raised and Zhu called. When the turn came Q♦, Bishow bet all in, and Zhu matched the bet.
Bishow 4♣3♣
Zhu 5♠9♣
To complete the underdog double up Bishow would need to dodge another club, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he spiked the 2♥ on the river.
