Blake Kelso Eliminated in 19th Place ($ 24,133)

From under the gun, Blake Kelso makes a raise to 20,000. Action folds all the way around to Brandon Blake, who pushes all in for 111,000. Kelso calls, and shows {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Blake is at risk with {8-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The flop comes lovely for Blake, {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The turn gives Kelso more outs, as the {10-Diamonds} peels off opening up a flush draw. And the draw gets there on the river when the {K-Diamonds} makes Blake the nuts, and sends Blake Kelso home for the night.

For his efforts, Blake Kelso will take home $24,133 and the appreciation of the remaining 18 players.
