Fischman Swimming Upstream

[user140525]

Stud-8

Scott Fischman surged ahead, scooping a huge stud pot.

Brian Townsend: (X-X) / {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} / (X)
John Hennigan: (X-X) / {q-Hearts} {5-Spades} {3-Hearts}
Richard Ashby: (X-X) / {k-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Clubs}
Scott Fischman: (X-X) / {2-Spades} {7-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades} / (X)

We caught up with the action when Richard Ashby led with a bet on fourth. The other three called, and when Townsend bet out on fifth, Hennigan and Ashby gave up. Townsend check-called sixth and seventh and saw he'd been calling down with the worst of it when Fischman turned over {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} for two pair and an eight-low. He moved up to 610k while Townsend fell to 550k.
