Asher Gets There on the River Against Saaskilahti
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Almost 1,500,000 was already in the middle as Kenneth Asher and Lauri Saaskilahti went to the turn on a board of 5♠4♠Q♥5♥. Asher then led out for 300,000 from the small blind, and Saaskilahti called on the button.
The river was the A♣ and Asher bet another 800,000. Saaskilahti again called, and Asher turned over A♥K♥ for a rivered pair. Saaskilahti flashed K♦Q♦ as he mucked.
