Last year's $50,000 Players Championship winner, Matthew Ashton, just checked a hand down with Juha Helppi. Ashton's hand was strong, but Helppi's board worried the Brit a little too much.

From fifth street on the hand was checked down on the following boards.

Helppi: {X-}{X-} / {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} / {X-}
Ashton: {X-}{X-} / {J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} / {X-}

When seventh street was checked Ashton announced he had two pair and turned over {J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.
