Richard Ashby - 7th Place

Hand No. 54 -

Zach Gruneberg has the button in Seat 1. Rajkumar Ramakrishnan is the first player into the pot with a raise to 90,000. Elliot Smith calls from the small blind before Richard Ashby moved all in from the big blind. Rajkumar asks for a count (350,000 more) and then calls. Smith cuts 350,000 chips out of his stack and then he also calls, drawing a surprised murmur from everyone in the room.

There are two live players for a three-way flop of {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

. Smith and Ramakrishnan both check. They repeat those action on the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

turn and the {9-Clubs}

river. Smith and Ramakrishnan show first for the side pot. Smith has unimproved {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

; Ramakrishnan has unimproved {A-Diamonds}

, which is a winner. Ashby then opens his own hand. He, too, has an unimproved {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

and is eliminated in 7th place. He will collect AU$150,000.
