Kelopuro Doubles Through Shipley

Sami Kelopuro Doubles through John Shipley.

John Shipley raised to 250,000 on the button. Sami Kelopuro re-raised the pot to 850,000 from the small blind and Ben Lamb folded from the big blind.

Shipley thought it over for about a minute before four-betting all in, resulting in a quick all-in call from Kelopuro.

Kelopuro: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Shipley: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came down {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, to which Kelopuro commented, "Not bad." The {3-Clubs} turn was as safe as can be for Kelopuro, only needing to dodge a jack on the river to survive.

The river delivered the {8-Diamonds}, securing the double for Kelopuro.
