...and Now a Showdown on Table 10!

[user75032]

If flops have been scarce, showdowns have been non-existent on either of our final two tables. We just had one on Table 10 that didn't get checked all the way down.

Richard Ashby limped in from the small blind and Sam Capra declined his big-blind option. The flop was {Q-Spades}

, prompting the reticent Ashby to lead out for 20,000. Capra called.

The turn came {6-Diamonds}

. Ashby made it 35,000 to go but was raised to 135,000 by Capra. He elected to call that bet and check-call another 75,000 on the river {10-Hearts}

. Capra turned over {6-Spades}

for a small flopped flush; Ashby flashed {8-?}

for two pair before throwing his hand into the muck.

That was a 250,000-chip swing for each player. Capra now has approximately 1.4 million; Ashby is down to about 750,000.
