Bye Bye Ashby

Level 7

Omaha Hi/Lo

We came to the table to see Richard Ashby all-in with a chance to quadruple his stack against Andy Bloch, Mike Watson and David Bach.

The flop was showing {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} when Ashby would be allin and have to watch as raises and re-raises were thrown out between all three other players on the {8-Hearts} turn and the river turning over {5-Spades}.

When the dust settled Bloch would take the high with his {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, while the Low would be chopped between Bach with {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Watson with {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

Ashby's hand had no chance against the table and were sent into the muck as he made his way to the rail.

Pantling Rolled Up

Level 8

Andrew Pantling just won a big stud pot with rolled up aces. Significant because he said it's the first time he's ever had them - either a tell that he's not a stud specialist or a pretty believable level.

Campbell Boosts The Pot

Level 8

RAZZ

The bring in got out of the way when Justin Smith raised. Robert Campbell had other ideas and re-raised.

Smith then called third street. Led on fourth and received the call and then bet-called the re-raise of Campbell on fifth street. Smith would then call the bet of Campbell on the river.

Campbell: {5-}{10-}{3-} / {7-}{4-}{4-}{a-}
Smith: (X)(X)(X) / {8-}{4-}{6-}{9-}

Smith mucked his hole cards and Campbell took down the pot with his seven-high.

Boukai Rescued on the River

Level 8

No Limit Hold'em

Rami Boukai was on the button when he got all of his 11,350 in against Mikka Pispala in the big blind.

Boukai: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Pispala: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop was uneventful. Boukai stood up to leave after the {6-Diamonds} on the turn, but the timely {j-Spades} on the river had him sitting back in his chair. He doubled up, and Pispala was left with just 2,300.

Pispala Back in the Game

Level 8

Hold'em

The next hand after doubling up Rami Boukai, Mikka Pispala watched Jeff Lisandro raise to 2,000 under the gun. When it folded to him in the small blind, Pispala moved all in for 2,300. Maria Ho in the big blind checked out Lisandro's stack before deciding to flat. Lisandro tossed in the extra few chips, and it was time for the flop. Ho and Lisandro checked down the {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades} board.

Pispala tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Clubs} as he got out of his seat, but Ho and Lisandro just mucked. Pispala tripled up.

In the midst of that excitment, we lost Daniel Alaei on another table. Pispala was moved to balance that table.

Level 8

Pot Limit Omaha

One more player has fallen victim to the bitter taste of defeat, his name Jeffrey Lisandro with his demise coming at the hands of Joseph Serock.

It would be allin preflop for the pair, Lisandro turning over {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} against Serock's {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

When the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts} it would be all over for Lisandro, the rivered straight enough to send Lisandro packing.
