Zhukov Quarters Ashby

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Viacheslav Zhukov was the first to act, and made it two bets. Richard Ashby called on the button, Steve Billirakis defended his big blind, and the flop fell {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Billirakis checked to Zhukov who fired a continuation bet. Ashby was his only caller.

Ashby called two more bets from Zhukov on the turn ({2-Spades}), and the river ({7-Hearts}). The hands were tabled, but weren't pulled in - so pardon our lack of suites/cards.

Zhukov: {a-}{3-}{10-}{x-} - High and Low
Ashby: {a-}{3-}{x-}{x-} - Low

Richard Ashby Eliminated in 4th Place ($161,379)

Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 0 ante
Richard Ashby - 4th place
Richard Ashby - 4th place

Steve Billirakis opened the button to 200,000, and Richard Ashby made it three bets to go from the big blind. Billirakis obliged him, and Ashby bet in the dark before the dealer spread the {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} flop. Billirakis called, and the {4-Clubs} landed on fourth street. Ashby bet again, and Billirakis raised to put him all in.

Showdown
Billirakis: {2-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {6-Spades}
Ashby: {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

Billirakis had made his straight to the eight, but Ashby had a made seventy-five, looking for the low half the pot. The river {A-Clubs} was a scoop card for Billirakis, though, and he improved to a sixty-five low to take the whole pot and send Ashby to the rail in fourth place.

Things change quickly in this game (with these limits), and Ashby has gone from Penthouse to out-of-the-house in just an hour's time. He'll take home $161,379 for his efforts, or about ten quid with the exchange rate.

Another to Zhukov

Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 0 ante

Every big pot has the potential to change the hands of the chip lead now.

In the last pot, Viacheslav Zhukov limped in from the small blind, and he called an extra bet when George Lind raised from the big. Zhukov check-raised the {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} }Js} flop, and Lind stared down at the situation for about a minute before releasing his cards into the muck.

Lind in Command

Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 0 ante

George Lind just scooped a pot from Steve Billirakis, and his lead is growing.

Lind was the preflop raiser, but Billirakis led the betting on the {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop and the {K-Diamonds} turn. Lind called bets on both streets, and they check-checked the river.

Billirakis has {A-} {5-} for aces up, but Lind's {8-} {8-} {X-} {X-} took the whole pot, boosting his stack all the way up to about 3.25 million.
