In 2002, he met his wife, screenwriter and mosaic artist Carolina Pla. They married in Las Vegas, at midnight, in a helicopter above the Strip. The headphones (which you’re forced to wear to hear the minister) make the wedding photos look like a sports commentary team!
Carolina had never played poker before they
met.
Under Ashley’s (mostly patient!) tutelage, she became a
regular winner at online poker, specialising in tournament play.
Meanwhile, Ashley made his living playing
online poker.
He qualified for both the 2004 and 2006 Ladbrokes Poker
Cruise vacations via satellites.
During the 2006 cruise, Carolina
took first prize in a $500 freezeout, winning $34,008. Ashley
got a nice bonus when he backed her to win at 10-1 before the final
started!
Carolina was a real star for the rest of the cruise. We couldn't eat a meal without somebody coming over to congratulate her! Nine days in paradise and being paid for it. Not bad work if you can get it, eh?

Carolina's rise from absolute novice to
the Inner Sanctum of tournament winners shows what's possible.
