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.
