Rising from the Ashby

A brief raising war on third street resulted with Richard Ashby and Owais Ahmed turning their cards over, Ashby all in.
Ashby turned over and was up against Ahmed's
. Ashby had made a heart flush by fifth street and although he got a bit of a sweat - Ahmed had four diamonds showing by the time his last down card was dealt - the outdraw never came and Ashby doubled up to around 170,000.
He looks a lot happier now than he did when he headed off on his dinner break.
On the other hand Ahmed is now looking a bit more nervous - he is our short stack on 130,000.
