AJ Kelsall Eliminated in 4th Place ($9,757)

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
AJ Kelsall
AJ Kelsall

Aj Kelsall open-shoved for around 105,000 from the cutoff and Nicholas Verderamo shoved over the top in the small blind. Jonathan Gilliam folded and the two tabled their hands.

AJ Kelsall: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Nicholas Verderamo: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came down {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Kelsall needed some help on the turn to have a shot at sticking around.

A {j-Spades} turn card was not of any help as Verderamo now had Kelsall drawing dead to the {7-Spades} river card. Kelsall took an exit in fourth place for a respectable $9,757.

Nicholas Verderamo: {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
An "Shamoo" Huang: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The dealer burned and turned a {6-Diamonds}, smashing the flush for Verderamo and Huang was now drawing dead to the {2-Spades} river card as Verderamo secured a massive double up, taking an overwhelming chip lead.

An "Shamoo" Huang Eliminated in 3rd Place ($14,471)

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
An "Shamoo" Huang
An "Shamoo" Huang

An "Shamoo" Huang moved all in for around 83,000 from the button and Nicholas Verderamo called in the small blind, putting Huang at risk.

An "Shamoo" Huang: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}
Nicholas Verderamo: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop came down {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Verderamo was still ahead with his ace-high. An action-fueled card peeled off on the turn as the dealer flipped over a {k-Spades}, giving Huang a lot of outs to stay alive. The {j-Clubs} river was not one of them and Huang was eliminated in third, falling to the straight of the red-hot Verderamo.
