Level 12
Paul Ravesi - 7th place
Paul Ravesi - 7th place

Razz

Paul Ravesi brought-in and Richard Ashby completed to 3,000 with Casey Kastle making the call along with Ravesi.

All three players committed 3,000 on fourth as Ashby continued his aggression with a 6,000-chip bet on fifth. Kastle passed, but Ravesi committed his final 6,800 with Kastle calling.

Ashby: {5-}{5-} / {6-}{3-}{2-}
Ravesi: {A-}{2-} / {Q-}{6-}{4-}

Ashby caught a {10-} and Ravesi an {A-} as seventh street was dealt face down.

Ashby quickly exposed his repeat {10-} to leave him with a ten-six as Ravesi had outs to stay alive with any ten, nine, eight, seven, five or three.

Unfortunately for Ravesi, he paired up also as he caught the {4-} to end his tournament in seventh place for an AUD$2,040 payday as Ashby climbs to 118,000 in chips.

Confusion on Seventh Results in Chop

Level 13

Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo

Richard Ashby complete to 4,000 only to have Bruno Portaro make it 8,000 straight. The bring-in player folded as Ashby made the call before Portaro fired out bets on fourth, fifth and sixth street with each player's board reading as follows.

Ashby: (X)(X) / {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / (X)
Portaro: (X)(X) / {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Clubs} / (X)

On seventh street, the dealer dealt both player's cards face up to reveal Ashby's {J-Clubs} and Portaro's {K-Diamonds}.

Calling the Tournament Director over to resolve the issue, both players opted to disregard the verdict as they checked it through.

Portaro tabled his {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} / {K-Diamonds} for two-pair and the high as Ashby tabled his {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} / {J-Clubs} for an eight-seven low as the pot was chopped up.
