Ashner Turns Hand Around

Geoff Paul

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of J♥8♠6♥ and facing a 7,000 bet from a player in early position, Tim Ashner called from the hijack. The small blind then went all in for 39,500. The player in early position folded. Ashner then began to think. He cut out the amount of the call, then added it back to his stack. After a minute or two, another player at the table called for the clock. Ashner then said "No, it's okay, I call."

Small blind: A♥5♥
Tim Ashner: K♥9♥

Ashner's flush draw was far behind, but he suddenly went ahead with the 9♠ on the turn. A 4♠ on the river gave Ashner the pot and eliminated his opponent.

Alek Gillies

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action started preflop with Matt Kursar raising to 2,300 from early position. Three players called as they headed to a flop.

The board ran Q♦5♦K♥ as the small and big blind checked. Kursar put out a continuation bet of 6,000 getting one caller to the turn.

A few straight draws were completed, as the J♣ peeled off on the turn. After his opponent checked, Kursar showed no fear having jammed all in for 27,400. His opponent quickly folded leaving him to collect the pot.
