Shelton Extends Chip Lead
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
After winning a huge pot minutes before to take over the chip lead, Michael Shelton opened another pot for 5,000 from middle position. Action folded around to well-respected pro Jason Koon in the small blind and he opted to three-bet to 16,000. Shelton made the call and then called when Koon bet 14,000 on the 
flop.
The 
turn inspired checks from both players, as did the 
river. "Ten high," Koon said before sheepishly showing the 
. Shelton then showed the 
for a missed flush draw and queen high, which was good enough to win the pot.
