Ainsworth Ascends

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jude "j.thaddeus" Ainsworth has made a late push here at the end of the day. Just now we saw him adding more to his stack following a hand in which he had led following a {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, his short-stacked opponent shoved all in for 17,300 total, and Ainsworth called. Ainsworth had {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and his opponent {A-Spades}{2-Spades}.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts}, and Ainsworth's opponent still had the lead, but the river came the {3-Diamonds}, giving Ainsworth the flush and sending another to the rail.

Ainsworth is now up to 119,000.
