Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Brandon Kelzenberg
Brandon Kelzenberg

Chan Pelton raised from late position and then called the 650,000 three-bet jam Brandon Kelzenberg made from the button.

Brandon Kelzenberg: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Chan Pelton: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Kelzenberg was behind holding two over cards and nothing changed after the {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop hit the felt.

The {10-Diamonds} turn made things interesting as it gave Kelzenberg more outs with a Broadway draw and brought more counterfeit options if an ace or ten were to come on the river.

Kelzenberg held at best 16 outs but the {7-Hearts} that fell on the river wasn't one of them and he departed in eighth place for $20,941.
