Ashby In Control

Level 9

Razz

Facing a completion to 1,500, Richard Ashby made the call before leading on fourth and fifth streets to force a call, and then a fold from his opponent.

Ashby: (X)(X) / {2-}{6-}{A-}
Opponent: (X)(X) / {8-}{10-}{3-}

With that pot, Ashby now moves to over 110,000 in chips.

Boxell Busts

Level 9
Leo Boxell
Leo Boxell

Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo

Finding the last of his chips in the pot on sixth street, Leo Boxell held a seven-six low against Keith Gipson who had him just pipped with a seven-five.

Squeezing out seventh street to improve to a better low and a high, Boxell was unable to do either as Gipson's pair of threes for the high saw him scoop the pot and move to 47,000 in chips.

Furniss, Ravesi Chop

Level 9

Omaha Hi/Lo

On the board of {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, Mark Furniss checked out of the small blind only to be confronted with a 3,000-chip bet from Paul Ravesi.

Furniss went deep into the tank because this bet represented nearly half of his total stack, and after a lengthy deliberation - that seemed to upset some players on the table - he made the call before check-calling another 3,000 when the river landed the {J-Clubs}.

Ravesi tabled his {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for trips and the hi-half of the pot as Furniss tabled his {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} for the lo-half as he returned to 12,000 in chips while Ravesi chipped back to 60,000 and change.

Ashby Clips Kastle

Level 8

2-7 Triple Draw

Catching the action on the first draw after Casey Kastle and Richard Ashby both drew two, we found the preflop aggressor checking before Kastle tossed in a 1,000-chip bet.

Ashby made it 2,000 as the preflop raiser folded and Kastle called. Kastle drew one and Ashby stood pat as his 2,000-chip bet was check-called by Kastle.

Both players stood pat on the last draw with Ashby's 2,000-chip bet again being check-called by Kastle.

Ashby tabled his {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-} to force a fold from Kastle as he slipped to 16,000 while Ashby climbed over the 50,000-chip mark.

Luke McLean

Pot Limit Omaha

Speaking to tablemate John Caridad, he informed us that Luke McLean found himself all in holding {K-}{Q-}{6-}{3-} against Casey Kastle's {K-}{K-}{Q-}{7-}.

Completely dominated, McLean failed to connect with the board and was forced to hit the rail.

Number Three for Watson in 2-7

Level 8

2-7 Triple Draw

Catching the action on the second draw, we found Mike Watson and his opponent each committing 2,000 with Watson drawing one in the cutoff as his opponent from the hi-jack stood pat.

Watson called a 2,000-chip bet on the third draw as his opponent again stood pat before checking the last street.

Watson fired out 2,000 and his opponent made the call, only to muck at the sight of Watson's {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} for the number three as he moves to 38,000 in chips.
