Easy Come, Easy Go for Shappelle
Kyle Shappelle has been quite active since he took his seat over 90 minutes late today, and it was working well for him before he took a small hit against Matt Berkey.
First, Shappelle took a nice pot off of Dan Heimiller. The two players had already built a pot of over 350,000 when the flop came 
. Heimiller fired out 225,000, and Shappelle thought it over for about 90 seconds before he put in a raise to 600,000. Heimiller checked his hole cards before sending them in, giving a nice pot to Shappelle.
Shappelle lost a chunk of that profit on the next hand, though, when he called the all-in of Matt Berkey preflop. Shappelle held 
and was racing against the 
of Berkey. The board ran out 
, and Berkey's full house was good enough to double his stack up to 675,000.
Despite taking that hit, Shappelle has seen a big boost to his stack today since he sat down.
