Ship It to Shepsky

We had noticed Matthew Shepsky sitting at Andrew Talbot's table, and how both had especially large stacks. Was perhaps just a matter of time for those two to tangle.

The table had folded around to Talbot on the button who opened for 5,200. Shepsky then reraised to 17,000 from the big blind. Talbot responded by shoving all in for more than 100,000, and Shepsky didn't wait too long to make the call.

Shepsky showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, while Talbot tabled {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, and Talbot -- who enjoyed the chip lead among the Day 1b players yesterday and was also among the leaders for much of today -- has been eliminated.

Shepsky looks to have the biggest stack in the room now with about 220,000.
