Half a Milly

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Shayne Shackelford is absolutely crushing.

He bet 20,000 into a pot of about 30,000 on a {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and got a call. He bet 30,000 on the {10-Spades} turn and was called again. Then, on the {9-Spades} river he pushed in and got looked up by his opponent with close to 50,000 more.

He showed {7-Spades}{6-Spades} having flopped two pair and rivered a flush to bust one more player.

He's now on over half a million chips and is the massive chip leader. To put that in perspective, no one from any of the three earlier flights bagged more than 190,000.
