Ashton Crippled

[user66118]

Razz:

We only joined the action on seventh street, and we were only able to catch that bit thanks to a long soak in the tank by Matthew Ashton. He was heads-up against Ylon Schwartz, and the boards were ugly.

Schwartz: (x-x) / {4-} {8-} {4-} {Q-} / (x)
Ashton: (x-x) / {7-} {6-} {7-} {10-} / (x)

Schwartz had made the last bet on seventh, and that was problematic for Ashton. The call would cost him 12,000, and he only had 20,500 chips left to shuffle in front of him. After several minutes, he made the call for most of his stack.

Schwartz had an eight, tabling {7-} {5-} {A-} / {4-} {8-} {4-} {Q-} , and it was good. After paying off his debt, Ashton was left with just that 8,500-chip remainder, but it looks like he's managed one double back already. He's still quite short.
