Kim Tipton was one of the 13 survivors through to Day 2 from the Day 1a flight earlier today.

However, since he bagged a relatively short stack of under 40,000, he figured he'd fire another bullet this evening. Well, he's off to a pretty good start after doubling up early.

He bet 1,200 chips into a {q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board before his heads-up opponent shipped in her entire stack. Tipton made the call with {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and was right as she held {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

The {2-Hearts} river ensured his double up and quick start to this second flight.
