Ashton Left For Dead

Stud 8

Matthew Ashton: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} / {x-}
Thomas Chambers: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} / {x-}
Chris Bjorin: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} / {x-}

We arrived at the action on fifth street, with Matthew Ashton leading out. Thomas Chambers then made it an extra bet and Chris Bjorin cold called. Ashton then raised it up again and both his opponents called. On sixth street, Ashton checked and Chambers bet. Bjorin then raised it up and Ashton tank-called. Chambers called and seventh was dealt.

On seventh street, Chambers led and Bjorin called. Ashton then tank for a long time. He only had around 15,000 behind and had already committed so much to the hand. Eventually he opted to fold. Chambers turned over {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a seventy-six low, while Bjorin held {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts} for three nines. The pot was split up between Bjorin and Chambers, while Ashton was left crippled. He did seem happy that he made the fold though.
