Pay That Man His Money
In the last hand before the break, we watched Andrew Kelsall get extreme value from an opponent who tried to trap him on the turn.
Here's what went down. The board read by the river and a pot containing more than 10,000 was already waiting to be claimed. Kelsall - who led the counts heading into the Day 2 of the Six-Max event earlier this week - led out with bet of 11,500 and his lone opponent went deep into the tank to figure things out.
With the rest of the table long gone and headed for the break, Kelsall calmly waited for his opponent to make a choice, and when that choice turned out to be a call he tabled for a rivered full house. The other player told Kelsall he held for Broadway by the turn, but he tried to trap and allowed Kelsall to get there.
For his part, Kelsall let us know he was ready to roll for it all on the turn, what with his two pair and four-flush hand. After getting paid off on the river, Kelsall went into the break riding a newly replenished chip stack, and after finishing in 12th place just days ago, he'll be looking to go even further here in the WPT Main Event Championship.
