Ashley Spikes a Set
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Craig Ashley, Joe Tijerima, and another player got all of their chips into the middle, with Tijerima covering.
Opponent: A♣Q♠
Craig Ashley: 6♣6♥
Joe Tijerima: A♦Q♣
Ashley was in a great spot to triple up as his opponents had each other's outs, but they still found an ace on the flop A♠5♦8♦ to give them the lead. However, Ashley wasn't finished yet as the 6♠ peeled on the turn to give him a set, which left his opponents drawing dead.
The Q♦ on the river just added insult to injury as Ashley scooped the pot, eliminating the shorter-stacked player.
