Hempkins and Shields Meet Again
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
In 2009, Bobby "Shooter" Hempkins won this event for $710,000 after he topped a field of 1,500 entries. One of the players he beat was Kelli Shields, and she was the last one Hempkins outlasted. Shields finished in second place for $370,000.
Now, six years later, the two are seated at the same table in the same WinStar River Poker Series Main Event. They're also seated right next to one another, with Hempkins in Seat 2 and Shields in Seat 3 at the table.
Right now, Hempkins has Shields out-chipped with 76,000 to her 25,000.
