Armbrust’s Pair of Nines Secure the Pot
Nível 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Umut Yukselir started things off under the gun with a raise to 20,000. Lorenzo Arduini on the button and John Armbrust in the big blind both decided to join the fray, making it a three-player pot.
The flop came down J♦9♦2♣, and all three players checked, keeping the tension in the air.
As the 7♥ hit the turn, Armbrust seized the moment and led out with a 30,000 bet. Yukselir and Arduini weren’t backing down, as both players called, eager to see where this hand would take them.
When the 4♣ landed on the river, the action cooled down with everyone checking again. Armbrust finally revealed his hand, showing K♥9♠ for a pair of nines. That was just enough to take down the pot, allowing him to boost his already impressive stack even further.
