Five Kicker Earns Ashkenazi The Double

Level 27 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Ido Ashkenazi shoved all in for his last 360,000 for the second straight hand, and Hend Matthews called as soon as she looked down at her cards. She said "I have an ace", and Ashkenazi said "well I guess it's time for me to go home."

Matthews: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Ashkenazi: {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The hand would likely end in a chop unless one of them paired, and when the flop came out {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Matthews thought she had done just that, and started to celebrate. She quickly realized it was just a three, and the turn brought the {q-Clubs}.

This gave Matthews flush draw outs as well, and the only way that Ashkenazi could win the full pot was if a non-club four or five came on the river. That happened when the {4-Hearts} hit the river, and even though Matthews and Ashkenazi thought it was a chop, the dealer and Joseph McKeehen quickly pointed out that Ashkenazi won the full pot.

That pot, which is now Ashkenazi's full stack, was worth 770,000, while Matthews dropped to 660,000.
