Adrian Baran also called from late position to see 
on the flop. Brass led out for 3,000 before Ashling made it 15,000 to go. Baran quickly mucked, but Brass called.

Ming Ashling limped in from under the gun, and he got a call from a couple seats over before Tyler Williams went all-in for 24,900. Ashling quickly came over top with a larger shove, and after a bit of thought, the other player released his hand.
Ashling was playing kings, against the jacks of WIlliams. The board of
