Chufty finals

to quote Dave Shoelace

"Stud is not a discipline that the UK has much success in, but Ashby is no stranger to the game. A regular in the high stakes mixed games on Full Tilt Poker he also won the European Masters Seven Card Stud event in 2009 for €59,140, he will no doubt be amongst the favourites tonight.

They are playing for $140,467 and of course the bracelet tonight"

Ashby Becomes Third Englishman to Win Victory at 2010 WSOP


Richard Ashby was the winner of the $1,500 buy-in Seven-Card Stud tournament at the 2010 World Series of Poker.  It marked his first ever gold bracelet victory.  By conquering a tough late-stage lineup which included former WSOP event winners Dan Heimiller and Alexander Kravchenko, Ashby pocketed the top cash prize amounting to $140,467.  More meaningful perhaps, was adding his name to the history books.

Ashby, age 38, is primarily an online cash game specialist.  He lives in Vatford, England.  Ashby has now cashed nine times at the WSOP, dating back to 2003.

Ashby also became the third Englishman to win a gold bracelet at this year’s WSOP.  He followed in the footsteps of previous UK champions, Praz Bansi and James Dempsey.

The second-place finisher was Christine Pietsch who barely missed becoming the 16th woman in history to win an open WSOP event.  She had a big chip lead late when heads up play began, but Ashby proved to be a formidable opponent in the duel, leaving the lady from Orange County, CA in second palce.  Pietsch would have joined an illustrious group of female champions, including Jennifer Harman, Annette Obrestad, Annue Duke, Kathy Liebert, Cyndy Violette, Nani Dollison, Kayja Thater, Linda Johnson, Jerri Thomas, Maria Stern, Starla Brodie, Vera Richmond, Donna Doman, Barbara Enright, and Vanessa Selbst – which constitutes the grand circle of female gold bracelet winners.  Selbst was the last woman to win the most coveted of all poker jewelry, which took place in Event #19 at the 2008 WSOP.

This year’s Seven-Card Stud tournament attracted 408 entries, a slight increase in attendance over last year.  The top 40 finishers collected prize money.  Four former WSOP gold bracelet finishers cashed in this event, including Dan Heimiller (4th), Alexander Kravchenko (9th), Scott Seiver (19th), and Rod Pardey, Jr. (37th).



They'll be dancing and singing on the streets of Vatford tonight!

Hold'em

Richard Ashby seems to be in the middle of everything at the moment and once again he was mixing it up in a hold'em hand against Ian Gordon.

Catching the action on a flop of {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Gordon checked, Ashby bet and Gordon check-raised. Ashby made the call and a dangerous looking {2-Spades} hit the turn. Gordon checked and Ashby fired a bet. Gordon tanked for a long time before finally making the call and the {8-Clubs} hit the river. Both players quickly checked it down.

Ashby opened {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a set which was good as Gordon mucked.

"Nice turn card Rich!" exclaimed his railbirds and Ashby agreed but he was happy enough to rake in the pot and move up to 1.45 million chips.

Hold'em

Before heads-up play began we witnessed one of the rarer, but rather refreshing sights, as Richard Ashby and Ian Gordon both clinked their glasses of champagne with a cheers to congratulate each other on reaching this moment. However it was a moment they weren't able to cherish for long as this heads-up duel took exactly one hand to complete.

Richard Ashby raised the button before Ian Gordon three-bet from the big blind. Ashby quickly four-bet saying, "Do you want to just go all in?"

Gordon replied, "Hmmm, no I'll just call for now," and they took a flop of {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Gordon checked and Ashby bet, Gordon put in a check-raise and Ashby made a hesitant call.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Gordon fired a bet and Ashby looked down at his remaining chips.

"I think you've got me, but I have to go all in," said Ashby as he added another 95,000 to the bet. Gordon made the call.

Gordon: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Ashby: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Gordon's pair was in front and Ashby was left needing an ace or jack to survive. The river was close as it fell the {K-Diamonds} to leave Ian Gordon as our champion!

Congratulations to Richard Ashby who pushed hard on this final table, and fought back from the short stack of several occasions, but ultimately fell just short of his second bracelet of the series, as he exits in 2nd place for $378,027.



Great effort, well played!
