|
Howard Lederer has won heat one of the FullTiltPoker.com Poker Million IX beating recent World Series of Poker bracelet winner Richard “Chufty” Ashby heads up.
Ashby entered heads up with a three-to-one chip lead but Lederer battled back to take a two-to-one chip lead before losing it again, clawing his way back to chip leader and finally doing Ashby in when his pocket jacks improved to trips against Ashby’s K-3 on the 200th hand of the game.
“Sometimes you just have to stick around and be patient to progress in a tournament,” said Lederer.
The full result of heat one was:
1: Howard Lederer
2: Richard Ashby
3: Greg Mueller
4: Chris Ferguson
5: Ross Boatman
6: James Dempsey
7: Stuart Rutter
8: Thomas Maxwell
Lederer earns a minimum of $90,000 for making the final table and could go on to win $1 million – up from the $500,000 reported earlier.
Today’s heat sees Gavin Smith, Ram Vaswani, Andrew Feldman, and Neil Channing among those in action.
