Mike Shin, who last month finished 12th in the WSOP Main Event, moved all in under the gun for 62,500 and Spencer Champlin called off from the button for 48,000. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.

Shin: 10c10h
Champlin: AhQh

It was a flip, but Champlin needed to improve to stay alive. That’s just what he did when the board ran out Qc2d5hAd9h to give him two pair.

In the very next hand, the under-the-gun player raised to 10,000 and Shin, who was in the big blind, moved all in for 14,000 total. His opponent called.

Shin: As6d
Opponent: 6c6s

Shin was looking for an ace, and he found one on the Ah3d2d flop. Neither the 3h turn nor 4c river proved harmful, and Shin doubled his short stack.

Spencer Champlin – 100,000
Mike Shin – 35,000
