Kelsall Shows Killer Instinct
With the flop of already spread across the felt, we watched as Andrew Kelsall and Chris Moon contested a pot with pure power, each player trying to push the other off with increasingly large reraises.
After an undetermined bet by Moon to start the post-flop action, Kelsall decided to put his man to the test, raising to 76,000 and staring Moon down.
Moon was not impressed though, and he calmly cut out enough chips for a three-bet to 131,000. Kelsall deliberated for a long minute, studying both the board and Moon's chip stack, before ultimately refusing to surrender so easily. His four-bet to 226,000 put much of his stack at risk and effectively threatened Moon's as well.
The pressure play worked to perfection, as Moon eventually opted to release and retreat, saving his now below-average stack to fight another day.
As Moon's cards went into the muck, Kelsall's were tabled to prove a point: .
Resembling the big bad wolf in sheep's clothing, Kelsall managed to howl at the Moon, blowing his stack down with nothing but air.
