Ashelm Leaves Tikhov on Fumes
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ivan Tikhov moved all in for 855,000 on the button and Robert Ashelm called in the small blind.
Robert Ashelm: A♦K♠ 
Ivan Tikhov: 10♠8♠
Ashelm hit top pair on the A♠9♣2♣ flop, while Tikhov picked up a flush draw on the 9♠ turn. The Q♣ came on the river and Ashelm held on to earn the pot.
The stacks had to be counted down and Tikhov had Ashelm covered by just 20,000. Marco Di Persio then asked that the dealer count again, and the pot was reconstructed as the dealer confirmed the amount before handing the chips over to Ashelm.
