Ashman: / FOLD
Tong: /

Matthew Ashton completed, and Kristopher Tong quickly put out a raise. Ashton made the call, and Tong quickly bet again on fourth street. Ashton called, and yet again, Tong took hardly anytime to bet on fifth. Ashton seemed to take the hint, as he checked his hole cards, tanked for a bit, then released, giving the hand to Tong.

With Owais Ahmed and George Fotiadis pretty short in chips, it seems the other three players are more waiting for one or both of them to bust before really getting involved. That said, there has been a decent lull in the action on the table and not much has happened in terms of pots.
