Shipley Bokked

It's official, I'm what our English readers might recognize as a "bokker". No sooner had I retold the story of John Shipley, and hinted that this could be his year, than he was busy moving more than half his stack across the felt.
I joined proceedings on the 
flop, where Shipley had check-raised David Benyamine's lead of 9,500 to 25,100. Benyamine called.
On the 
turn, Shipley once again checked putting the decision on Benyamine. The Frenchman thought for longer than Rodin's "The Thinker" before finally trickling 23,000 onto the felt. Shipley immediately slid in a stack of orange chips (signifying that he was putting his opponent all in), and Benyamine snap-called.
Benyamine: 
Shipley: 
A 
river changed nothing, and Shipley's stack had been decimated. He is now right back down to 70,000.
