All it took was 17 levels…
With 207 entries tonight, 28 seats were up for grabs in the Montreal Open $150 + $15 turbo-re-entry satellite. This was the last in a series of Satellites that were hosted this week at Playground.
The last hand of the Satellite was a classic confrontation that ended up in an unexpected twist. Armry Senat felt strong with his ladies up against a weak ace from Atbin Abbasianafrapoli.
Atbin: 
Armry: 
His confidence took a beating when the flop came out, giving his opponent an open-ended straight draw. The turn sealed his fate, giving Atbin a straight, and leaving Armry with nowhere to go but home.
Board: 
So Armry was sent to the rail bubble in 29th position, with $250.
