Au Revoir, Ashby

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante
Richard Ashby: eliminated
Richard Ashby: eliminated

Richard Ashby has just been sent to the rail at the hands of William Thorson who is now sitting behind a stack worth more than 31,000 in chips.

All the money was in the middle before the flop and we got there just as the cards were tabled:

Ashby: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Thorson: {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Thorson improved to a straight draw on the flop of {7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, but Ashby kept his lead when the {7-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. It wasn't for long though - Ashby was ousted after the {5-Spades} spiked on the river.
