Lind Grabs a Scoop

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Richard Ashby raised to open the pot, and George Lind defended his forced bet with a call of the optional one.

The flop came out {7-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, and Lind called Ashby's continuation bet. The {9-Diamonds} turn drew another bet from Ashby, but this time Lind check-raised. Ashby spent a good while in the tank, but he eventually reraised to put Lind all in.

Showdown
Ashby: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades}
Lind: {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades}

Lind's nut-low and pair of nines were in front, but Ashby had outs to take half the pot. The river {9-Hearts} was a blank, though, and Lind gets the scoop. He's back over 900,000 now, and it was a hit Ashby could easily afford to take. He's still got heaps -- about 2 million.
