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.
