Chufty's Huge Stack

Richard Ashby is up to about 90,000 after getting his entire stack in with {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {2-Spades} on a {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} board against {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. It was pretty tight at this point, Ashby could win with a king or a ten (that wasn't a diamond) while his opponent scooped with an eight or a diamond (that wasn't a king!)

These things do get complicated but Ashby's life became much easier when the {K-Hearts} came on the turn leaving the other player drawing to one of two aces for a split.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and Richard Ashby looks to be our chip leader now.
