Ascensao on the Rise

Nuno Ascensao bet out 3,800 with one card to come on the :::Qc :::Kc :::Ad :::8s board but Gregers Madsen made it all in. Ascensao called without much trouble, holding as he was the Broadway straight, and a few moments later Madsen was standing up to leave.

Madsen: :::Ks :::Kd
Ascensao: :::Js :::Ts

River: :::5c

Ascensao is very firmly on the up – at 45,000, he is among our chip leaders right now.
