Ray Lynn Triples Up

Len Ashby makes it 12,000 under the gun. Jerry Martin calls and Ray Lynn goes all in for his last 13,500. Both call.

The flop is {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and the side pots check.

The turn is {10-Spades} and Len bets 20,000. Jerry folds.

Len: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Ray: {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The river is {3-Hearts} and Ray triples up to 44,000. Len has 161,000.

Tight is Right?

Derek Whelan raises to 16,500 preflop and David Kopacz min-raises to 33,000. Whelan folds {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} face up. It seems that tight play is the order of the day early on.

Could Be Long

Other than the one short stack, the chip counts are extremely flat across the board. With so much parity between players, and the average stack containing 35 big blinds, this could be a long final table.
