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.
