Ashlem Shows the Nuts
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a flop of 8?9?7?, Darko Percic was last to act and bet 5,000 into three opponents. Robert Ashelm, in the big blind, was the only caller.
The action checked through on the 5? turn for the 6? to come on the river, making a nine-high straight on the board. Ashelm led out for 12,000, which was enough to get a fold from Percic. Ashlem showed he had the goods as he flipped over J?10? for the nut straight.
