Ashby Unlucky

Richard Ashby has just been crippled losing a big pot to Ismael Bojang. The latter started off raising under the gun to 8,000 and Ashby called from the cutoff.

The flop came down {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Bojang bet 4,000 after which Ashby put in a raise. Bojang called and the turn was the {K-Spades}. Bojang check-called after some tanking and the river was the {6-Spades}.

Bojang lead out for 8,000 and as soon as Ashby called he announced, "Nut-nut".

"Jezus Christ," Ashby said as he turned over his {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Bojang scooped the pot with {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades} and is now back up to 70,000 while the Brit is knocked down to just 24,000.

Matusow Sends Shorr Home, Bubble Time!

We just caught the end of Shannon Shorr's bust out which brings us down to the money bubble.

Mike Matusow{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Shannon Shorr{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} giving Matusow the win, the knock out and Shorr a very bad feeling. We are down to just 28 players and hand for hand play will be in progress until we lose one more player. There are still 35 minutes on the clock.
