Ashkar More Than Doubles

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Jon Turner raised to 2,000 under the gun and Benjamin Ashkar three-bet to 3,000 on the cutoff. The small blind and the big blind called, and Turner added the remainder to call as well.

The flop was {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the small blind checked to the big blind who bet 1,000. Turner folded and Ashkar raised to 2,000. The small blind folded and the big blind three-bet to 3,000. Ashkar four-bet to 4,000 and the big blind five-bet to 5,000. Ashkar called for less, putting at risk a total of 4,200.

Benjamin Ashkar: {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The big blind had flopped top pair but Ashkar had flopped two pair. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {3-Diamonds} river completed the board and Ashkar improved his hand to a flush and took down the pot.
