Major Payne
We saw two players with all-in buttons in front of them, as both David Fox and Jerry Payne had put the last of their chips into the middle.
When Payne's all-in move was announced, Andre Kelsall snap-called and tabled to find himself in a fortuitous position against Payne's and the held by Fox.
The final board ran out to keep Kelsall out in front, and with the double-knockout he climbed to more than 120,000 to start Day 2 off in style. After heading into Day 2 of the Six-Max event earlier this week as the overall chip leader, Kelsall knows how to use chips when he gets them, and he just took the rest from two players to make himself a force going forward.
Kelsall also let us know that he made another score before the encounter with aces, hitting the board perfectly with his to felt a player who held a futile full house with . Anytime a skilled player starts running the way Kelsall is today, we pay attention, knowing that a huge chip lead could be built and lengthened in just a level or two of play.
