Theocracy at the Back Table
Over at the back of the mezzanine level, we found this summer's $1,500 Seven Card Stud bracelet winner Richard Ashby and 2008 WSOPE £5,000 PLO (that's this event, two years ago!) champion Theo Jorgensen looking down at a flop. All the chips were going in, and the players were turning over their cards.
Ashby: for trips
Jorgensen: for a full house
Ouch.
There was no help for Ashby from the turn or river, and Jorgensen collected the whole, enormous pot. Jorgensen seems to have cashed in all his lammers right off the bat, and is now in possession of almost 30,000 in very usable tournament chips.
Ashby meanwhile let out a sigh and tossed one of his two remaining red lammers to the dealer for a fresh shot at this tournament.
