Third Pair Good for Ashelm
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to Ping Lin on the button, who raised to 12,000 and found a call from Robert Ashelm in the big blind.
Both players checked the 4♣9♣10♠ flop and the K♣ peeled off on the turn. Ashelm checked, and Lin bet out for 15,000, which Ashelm called, and the players then both knuckled the table when the 2♠ arrived as the river card.
Ashelm tabled J♣9♦ for third pair, which was good as Lin mucked his cards.
