Ashby Triples Up

Richard Ashby: {a-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} / {2-Spades} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Spades}
Dan Heimiller: {q-} {5-Clubs} {10-} / {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {j-Spades}
Darren Shebell: {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Clubs} / {a-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {j-Hearts}

The pot was limped on third street and checked on fourth street. On fifth, Darren Shebell bet out and Richard Ashby called all in for 9,000. Dan Heimiller called too.

The two live players checked on sixth street.

"Gimme a heart, dealer," said Heimiller.

"Give him a heart, dealer," agreed Shebell.

They both checked on seventh, and Ashby's straight was good to take the main pot, tripling him up to around 100,000 - still very much the short stack.

However, Ashby won the next two pots as well. They weren't biggies, but they were enough to bump him up to a considerably healthier 200,000 or so.
