Portaro & Ashby Still Battling

Level 15

Omaha Hi/Lo

In case you were wondering, yes, Daniel Ospina and Casey Kastle are still here, but it's Bruno Portaro and Richard Ashby that are doing most of the betting and we've just caught another couple of hands that they've clashed in.

Portaro limped in from under the gun and Ospina folded from the button before Kastle completed the small blind. Ashby checked to go three ways into a flop that read {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Kastle checked before Ashby opened.

Portaro called and Kastle mucked, making it heads-up to the turn of the {K-Spades}, where Ashby check-called Portaro's bet before both players checked the river of the {3-Clubs}. Portaro showed {K-}{Q-}{10-}{x-} and Ashby mucked.

In the very next hand, Ospina raised from under the gun, Kastle folded from the button and Ashby and Portaro called from the small and big blind respectively before Ashby led out on the flop of {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Portaro raised, Ospina folded and Ashby called before check-calling Portaro on the turn of the {4-Clubs}.

Ashby then opened when the dealer produced the {9-Spades} on the river; Portaro called, but slapped his cards down into the muck after Ashby revealed {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} to scoop the pot. Ashby is now well beyond 400,000 in chips and in prime position to take this title down!
