Kenneth Shelton Gone

Nghi Van Tran started out this recent hand by raising it up to 16,000. Action folded around to Kenneth Shelton on the button who min-raised to 32,000, leaving behind around 22,000. The rest of the table folded and it was back to Tran who made the call.

The flop came {10-Spades}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Tran placed a bet that would put Shelton all in. Shelton said "I'm probably behind, but I have no choice" and made the call. Shelton was wrong though and his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} was ahead. Tran tabled {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a measly pair of nines.

The {9-Diamonds} on the turn though was a dagger to Shelton who now found himself behind in the hand. A {4-Diamonds} then fell for the river and that was it for Shelton's tournament life.
