Level 20
Chau Giang - 15th Place
Chau Giang - 15th Place

Max Pescatori opened with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun only to have Matthew Ashton three-bet from a few seats over. Chau Giang four-bet as Pescatori folded and Ashton called.

The {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop saw Giang check from the big blind before being confronted with a 15,000-chip bet from Ashton. Giang went into the tank for several moments before two-betting all in as Ashton called.

Giang: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Ashton: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Unfortunately for Giang, the turn and river landed the {4-Diamonds} and {5-Diamonds} to see him him sent to the rail in 15th place for a $26,350 payday as Ashton moves to 675,000 in chips.

Soulier Bluffs and Loses

Level 20

Hold'em

Fabrice Soulier opened with a cutoff raise only to have Matthew Ashton three-bet from the button. Soulier made the call before check-raising the {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop with Ashton bet-calling.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn saw Soulier check-raise once again with Ashton making the call as the {j-Diamonds} landed on the river and Soulier led out for 30,000.

Soulier tabled his {J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, but it would be Ashton's {A-}{K-} that would claim the pot and move his stack to roughly 700,000 as Soulier slips to 510,000 in chips.
