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.
We arrived at the table just as the dealer was pulling in chips from three players. One player was all in as Jason Somerville and another player made the call and were still active. The flop read 
at the time.
The turn brought the 
and Somerville moved all in, having the other player covered. He folded and Somerville showed the 
to go up against the all-in player's 
.
The river was the 
to give Somerville a flush and he scooped the pot to move back towards 400,000 in chips.
It folded around to Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly in the small blind who raised to 5,500. The young gentleman in the big blind made the call.
They saw a 
flop and Kelly bet out small; his opponent called. They saw a 
and Kelly bet out sort of medium; again his opponent called. They reached the 
river and this time Kelly bet out big - 25,000 to be precise. His opponent peeked down at his hole cards in case they had changed into two completely different, better cards - but they hadn't, and he folded.
Kelly was at 260,000 or so after that.
Danny Estes limped in for 2,000 with a player in middle position making the call as the big blind checked his option.
The flop fell down 
, and after the big blind checked, Estes fired out 6,100. The fellow limper made the call before the big blind moved all in for an additional 27,100. Estes made the call to put his opponent at risk as the third player released his hand.
Estes: 
Opponent: 
The turn and river blanked out with the 
and to see Estes eliminate his opponent and climb to 280,000 in chips.
Amanda Baker was all in before the flop with 
, and he was racing for double or nothing against an opponent's .
There was trouble on the flop for Baker in the form of an ace, and she was unable to catch up on a board that ran 
. She was the one at risk when the cards were turned up, and she has thusly run out of chips and run out of chances here in the Main Event.
Kenny Tran was all in for his last chips on a flop of 
holding 
for top set, and the nuts, but it wasn't over just yet as his opponent showed 
for the flush draw.
The turn was the and the river the 
and Tran's opponent found his flush on the river to end the tournament of Tran.
With the board reading 
, Andrew Brown was faced with a 12,000-chip bet from an opponent and made the call.
The 
turned and Brown's opponent fired another bullet - this one was worth 25,000. Brown called.
Brown's opponent slowed after the rivered, checking to Brown who took the opportunity to bet 90,000. His opponent quickly called and mucked even quicker when Brown showed him for a set of sevens.
Sandy, your boy now has 445,000 chips.
Cole South started off the action with a raise from the hijack seat to 5,500. The player on the button flat-called and then Ronnie "Ronasty" Bardah three-bet from the big blind to 19,500. South double checked his hand before folding and the button made the call.
The flop came down 
and Bardah fired a continuation bet worth 25,000. The button mucked and Bardah moved his way up to 310,000.
Michael Mizrachi lost about half of his chips after doubling up an opponent on a hand that saw all the chips go into the middle preflop.
Mizrachi:
Opponent:
Mizrachi was looking for some hearts or an ace, but he didn't get either of them as the board ran out 
.
After losing 111,000 chips to his opponent, Mizrachi has fallen to about 109,000.
