Heavyweights

As if things weren't challenging enough for the players at Table 272. Their afternoon began with Ryan Price and Chris Bonita both sitting with over 100,000 in chips. Just to brighten everyone's day, the 135,000-chip stack of Kenneth Shelton has just joined the fun over on that table, putting a ton of chips in play there.

In their first few minutes at the same table, the three men got together in a small pot. They checked through a flop of {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {A-Clubs}. When the {6-Hearts} hit the turn, Shelton checked, and Bonita bet 4,400. Price folded before Shelton check-raised to 20,000, and it was good enough to win him the pot right there. We'll definitely be keeping an eye on this potential powder keg.
