Brian Saltus Eliminated in 12th Place ($12,259)

2-7 Limit Triple Draw

We arrived at Table 440 with Matthew Ashton having Brian Saltus all in on the last round of drawing in 2-7 Limit Triple Draw. Saltus drew one and Ashton stood pat. Ashton tabled his {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} and while we didn't catch all of Saltus' cards, as he quickly mucked them, we did see {5-}{5-} showing, meaning he was no chance against Ashton's jack-nine low.

For his 12th place finish, Saltus goes home with $12,259 in cash.

Pot Limit Omaha

We found Vanessa Selbst and Bryn Kenney heads up at the turn. The board read {6-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, Selbst bet 34,000 and Kenney raised to 92,500.

Selbst thought for a moment and then potted. Kenney moved all in and Selbst called

Selbst: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Spades}
Kenney: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}

Kenney was ahead with a set of tens but Selbst hit the river when it fell {Q-Diamonds} giving her the Broadway straight.

Ashton Left For Dead

Stud 8

Matthew Ashton: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} / {x-}
Thomas Chambers: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} / {x-}
Chris Bjorin: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} / {x-}

We arrived at the action on fifth street, with Matthew Ashton leading out. Thomas Chambers then made it an extra bet and Chris Bjorin cold called. Ashton then raised it up again and both his opponents called. On sixth street, Ashton checked and Chambers bet. Bjorin then raised it up and Ashton tank-called. Chambers called and seventh was dealt.

On seventh street, Chambers led and Bjorin called. Ashton then tank for a long time. He only had around 15,000 behind and had already committed so much to the hand. Eventually he opted to fold. Chambers turned over {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a seventy-six low, while Bjorin held {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts} for three nines. The pot was split up between Bjorin and Chambers, while Ashton was left crippled. He did seem happy that he made the fold though.

Matthew Ashton Eliminated in 10th Place ($16,186)

Matthew Ashton - 10th Place
Matthew Ashton - 10th Place

Matthew Ashton was left crippled just a short while ago and now he has played his last hand of poker in this tournament. The game that he was eliminated in was Stud Eight-or-Better.

Ashton was all in from the beginning of the hand and by the time his cards were all out on the felt, they looked like this {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} (in no particular order) and with his river card going into the muck. That hand wasn't good enough for Thomas Chambers, who held {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}. (in no particular order).

Ashton's elimination in 10th place leaves us with just nine players remaining.
