"I was just talking about it an hour ago!"

Randy Ashe was just now explaining to his table how he'd been going over a commonly imagined scenario with friends prior to the start of play today — facing the prospect of going all in at the very start of the WSOP Main Event.

That situation just occurred for Ashe following a series of reraises with Gaston Ruzo of Argentina, sitting across from Ashe at Table 416. When the betting concluded, both players tabled their hands — {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} for Ruzo, and {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} for Ashe.

The board ran out a friendly {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades}, meaning neither player will have to leave us early.
