Franco Shut Down by Shipp; Han Housed
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 3,000 ante
About 50,000 was in the middle on a flop of 9?8?5? when Thomas Shipp in the big blind and Roger Franco in middle position exchanged bets and raises until Franco's final 75,000 or so was at risk.
Roger Franco: K?K?7?3?
Thomas Shipp: Q?Q?J?10?
Shipp's queen-high straight left Franco needing a spade on the river, but the 5? fell instead, felting Franco and shipping the pot to Shipp.
meanwhile, Steven McKuin has just eliminated Ken Han, leaving the players one elimination away from the two-table redraw.
