Askey Holds for the Dub
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Steven Payten opened the action with a raise to 21,000 in middle position and Anthony Askey re-jammed from the hijack. Action folded back to Askey.
"Got my hand in the cookie jar! How much is it?" said Payten.
"Ninety-four (thousand)," responded Askey.
"Shit!" said Askey. The dealer cut out Askey's stack to confirm his total was 94,000 and Payten put in chips to call.
Anthony Askey: 
Steven Payten: 
An ace on the flop 
put Askey even further ahead and he remained there through the turn 
and river 
to double shortly after returning from break.
