Ship it to Shipley

With around 10,000 in the pot by the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop, John Shipley (small blind) checked to David Benyamine (mid position) who bet 6,500. Shipley now check-raised all in for 68,300, and after a moment or two, Benyamine made the call.

"You're in good shape," noted Benyamine as soon as the cards had been flipped.

Benyamine: {6-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flush draw and a gutshot
Shipley: {a-Spades}{2-Spades} for a higher flush draw

Turn: {a-Diamonds} giving Shipley a pair of aces

River: a harmless {3-Clubs}

The man who finalled the Main Event in 2002 doubled up to around 150,000 to stay in the game on roughly average chips. Benyamine dropped back to a not-far-off 160,000.
