Kamden Keleher Eliminated in 4th Place ($17,000); Kim Rasmussen Eliminated in 3rd Place ($23,000)
Kamden Keleher, who had been standing up from his seat shuffling his few remaining chips for much of the past level, finally put them in as he shoved for 1,500,000 in the cutoff. Kim Rasmussen then reshoved for 5,300,000 on the button, and Preston Dean snap-called in the small blind.
"Why didn't I fold?" Keleher wondered.
"If there's going to be a party, I want to be in it," Steve Kelly said as he peeled his cards, but he eventually folded.
Kamden Keleher: Q♠10♥
Kim Rasmussen: K♠K♣
Preston Dean: A♦A♣
Dean had woken up with aces in a massive cooler as he was poised for the double knockout. "I'm live," Keleher said going to the flop, which came J♥8♣5♣ to give him a straight draw.
"Nine!" Keleher called out, but he missed the 3♦ turn and 7♣ river as he busted in fourth place, while Rasmussen took third as the bigger stack.
Dean and Kelly are taking a short break before the start of heads-up play.
