Ashley Spikes a Set
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Craig Ashley, Joe Tijerima, and another player got all of their chips into the middle, with Tijerima covering.
Opponent: A?Q?
Craig Ashley: 6?6?
Joe Tijerima: A?Q?
Ashley was in a great spot to triple up as his opponents had each other's outs, but they still found an ace on the flop A?5?8? to give them the lead. However, Ashley wasn't finished yet as the 6? peeled on the turn to give him a set, which left his opponents drawing dead.
The Q? on the river just added insult to injury as Ashley scooped the pot, eliminating the shorter-stacked player.
