Ashelm Loses Against and With Aces
The action was caught on a completed board of 10♠K♠K♦8♥A♣. With 4,900 in the pot, Robert Ashelm checked under the gun to Oscar Ceron in middle position.
The latter fired a bet of 1,500, which Ashelm raised to 6,500. Ceron tossed in a quick call to see Ashelm table K♣J♥10♦10♥ for kings full of tens. Ceron showed A♠A♦9♠2♥ for aces full and raked in the pot with the better boat.
One hand later, Dwayne Sluis, Aleksandar Petrovic, and Ashelm each put in 2,500 preflop in a three-bet pot. Petrovic checked on the J♠Q♣3♥ flop before Ashelm bet 6,500.
Sluis made the call while Petrovic quickly got out of the way. Ashelm and Sluis then checked through the 10♠ turn for Ashelm to fire 6,500 on the 10♥ river.
Sluis quickly called. Ashelm showed down A♠A♣8♥8♦ for aces and tens but was beaten by the straight of Sluis, who showed K♣Q♥J♦9♦.
