Kelliher Shoves on Hesse

After Timothy Kelliher, who hails from North Dighton, Massachusetts and was the Foxwoods Casino Champion, opened from the button, at-large qualifier Steve Hesse three-bet him to 1,350 from the big blind. Not to be outdone, Kelliher pushed back with a four-bet to 4,525 and Hesse thought for well over a minute before making the call.

When the flop fell , Kelliher casually announced that he was all in. Hesse, who had 16,350 behind, seemed intrigued and leaned back in his chair. Over the next 90 seconds he counted down his chips, stacked them and then held them in his hand. Eventually Hesse opted to fold, which means we're still waiting for the first elimination of the day.
