Richard Ashby wins 7 game session

January 26th, 2010

The first high stakes poker game after the new rules to the Full Tilt 7 Game went off on Wednesday. Since the blinds were lowered in the Pot Limit Omaha/No Limit Hold ‘Em game, the new games that went off on Full Tilt Poker was played at the $2000/$4000 HEROS tables. Regulars filled the table, including Gus Hansen, Cole South, and David Oppenheim. However, the 7-Game wasn’t dead. While the limit being played were at $1500/$3000, the heads up tables still got action. Two different tables went off between Richard Ashby and Cole South. The first big hand of the day came in a big Razz pot between Gus Hansen and Cole South. Although South picked up a scary card on fifth street, he continued to play back at Hansen and eventually took this pot with a bet on seventh street.

Our next big hand was from the heads up game, where Cole South picked up a Razz hand from Ashby on this hand.

While Hansen had just lost a large pot to South, this next hand shows South taking the rest of ‘The Great Dane’s’ stack.

Hansen didn’t rebuy into the game. This caused David Oppenheim to also sit out, killing the action on both of the $2000/$4000 tables. South and Ashby didn’t disappoint the high stakes fans, however, building a massive pot on this Omaha hand.

The two heads up tables were not set up to be epic matches, with both South and Ashby sitting on stacks of over $100,000 on both tables. Ashby quickly changed that, however. It was a big Stud Hi pot, with Ashby taking the win with Aces and Kings.

A huge pot took place in the Pot Limit Omaha round. Ashby made a bet of over $17,000 on the river and was quickly called by South. Ashby showed a full house, which was good enough to take the pot of over $60,000.

South got revene in this hand, but for a much smaller amount. A pair of aces were good to take this hand for over $20,000.

It didn’t take Ashby long to regroup and take the next big pot. A flush was good for this pot worth over $30,000.

Ashby continued his upswing taking this big Limit Hold ‘Em pot from South for the tune of nearly $40,000.

South finally got some revenge in this hand. A full house was good enough to take the pot of $30,000.

This ended the heads up play for the day. Ashby sat out, leaving South to lick his wounds. Ashby ended up being a winner for around $150,000 on the session.
