Ashkarkhizani's Have Varying Success

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Evan Ashkarkhizani raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and Shaun Gable called in the big blind.

The flop came K♠7♠9♠ and Ashkarkhizani continued for 17,000. Gable then raised to 50,000, and Ashkarkhizani folded.

The next hand, dad Mostafa Ashkarkhizani and Chris Freeman went to a flop of 9♥5♦4♥ in a limped pot when Freeman bet 6,000 from the big blind. Ashkarkhizani called in early position.

Ashkarkhizani checked out of turn on the J♠ turn, and Freeman then bet 18,000. Ashkarhizani called and checked again on the A♣ river.

"Are you checking out of turn on purpose? You've done it twice now," Freeman said before betting 30,000, and Ashkarkhizani quickly called.

Ashkarkhizani showed A♥K♥ for top pair, and Freeman mucked.
