Cotton, Shipley Next to Fall
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jessica Cotton limped in from early position before Jeff Heiberg raised to 75,000 in the small blind. Cotton called, and they saw a flop of A♦9♥2♠.
Heiberg then bet 100,000, Cotton moved all in for 250,000, and Heiberg quickly called.
Jessica Cotton: A♥J♣
Jeff Heiberg: A♠K♣
Both players had flopped top pair, but Heiberg was ahead with his king-kicker. The board ran out 9♣8♠, and Cotton was sent to the rail.
At the same time on another table, Rob Shipley was all in for 215,000 from the small blind and up against Josh Brown in the cutoff.
Rob Shipley: A♠K♦
Josh Brown: Q♣10♣
Brown spiked trips on the Q♥Q♦2♣ flop, and Shipley was left drawing dead after the 5♠ turn. The river was the 5♣ and Shipley headed for the exit.
