Pierce Mckellar Eliminated in 13th Place ($12,360)
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Pierce Mckellar raised to 900,000 from under the gun and Johnny Kelly called in the hijack with all other players folding.
The flop came out Q♥J♣2♥ and Mckellar checked over to Kelly who bet 25,000 to put Mckellar all in. Mckellar quickly called and said "I only looked at one."
Pierce Mckellar: A♠A♦
Johnny Kelly: 7♥7♠
Mckellar leapt for joy as he peeled his second ace, but he quickly expressed concern saying "why did I celebrate?"
As if on cue, the turn 7♦ peeled off to give Kelly a set of sevens. The river 6♠ did not change and Mckellar exited the tournament area.
