Tom Pongrass - 27th Place

Tom Pongrass opened with a raise to 25,000 from the cutoff and Richard Ashby made it 75,000 to go from the small blind. The big blind folded and Pongrass moved all in for his last 128,000. Ashby made the call.

Ashby: {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

Pongrass:

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

Pongrass was looking to pair up, but the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

flop was about the furthest flop he desired. He was left drawing to a running miracle.

It didn't arrive as the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

fell on the turn and then the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

on the river. Pongrass departs in 27th place and Ashby is up over 800,000 chips.
