AJ Kelsall was in a three-way pot against Steve Zolotow and Phil Hellmuth on a board of 2♠7♦4♥5♠. Action checked to Kelsall, who bet 500,000 from the hijack. Zolotow called all in for his last 420,000 from the small blind and Hellmuth folded from the big blind.
Steve Zolotow: 2♣2♦
AJ Kelsall: 8♣6♣
The dealer brought the A♠ on the river, keeping Kelsall best with his straight and eliminating Zolotow. Hellmuth shot up from his seat upon seeing the river and indicated he would have hit a flush.
With that pot, Kelsall is now over two million in chips.
