B reaches up with his far arm and tries to snake it under As chin/nose and lever up with it to create space
that's mistake #1 for B. never give up a limb. B should either bridge and roll, take As back (If A is only securing his head, not his head and far arm, which he is not in this case) or bridge, slide the knee closest to A's hip under his hip, then roll him the opposite direction.
B, to counter, straightens his arm, so A cups the tricep of the outstreched arm, brings his knee up, spins round and falls down into an arm bar.
IMO, that's mistake #2 for B. Don't straighten the arm - bring it closer to you. As long as you kill A's angle, the americana isn't a threat.
B grabs his hands together to counter so A sits up and folds his arms over Bs outsretched arm and does a short arm scissor, shearing the forearm to get the sub.
B is at this moment a sitting duck. Instead of grabbing the arm, he should've turned into the armbar and attempted to escape. I know that's easier said than done, however - timing has to be right on. I got my arm popped attempting it.
