Shih Wins the "Classic Flip"

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kenny Shih moved all in from middle position for about 29,000. Action folded to the small blind who moved all in himself for slightly more. The two were off to a runout heads up.

Kenny Shih: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The flop showed up {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

"There's hope," said Shih.

That hope came to fruition on the {j-Hearts} turn.

"That's dirty," said Shih's opponent.

The river {4-Spades} offered no chop and Shih raked the full double.

"Classic flip," said another tablemate.
