"Has the three-seat been here all day?" asked our PokerNews field reporter to tablemate Chris Tryba.
"Yep. And he hasn't missed all day either!" responded Tryba.
The reason we asked was because Matthew Ashton just took a pot from Chris Amaral to move just shy of the 240,000-chip mark.
Omaha-8
Ashton limped under the gun, as did Amaral next to act as both blinds came along to see a 
flop fall. Ashton fired out 2,500 only to have Amaral raise as both blinds kicked their cards in.
Ashton made the call before leading at the 
and the 
on the turn and river as Amaral smooth-called on both streets.
Ashton tabled his 
for a wheel, and once Amaral flashed his 
, he mucked while slipping to 14,000 in chips.
