Level 20

We arrived at the table just in time to see Dan Kelly's cards being mucked by the dealer as he was eliminated from play. The board read and Kelly's opponent, Brian Hastings, held for aces full of treys and a sixty-five low. Kelly was unable to beat this hand and was eliminated from play.

Despite his early exit today, Kelly has still managed an astounding WSOP this year as this is his seventh recorded cash of the summer.
