Blake Kelso Eliminated

From under the gun, Blake Kelso makes a raise to 20,000. Action folds all the way around to Brandon Blake, who pushes all in for 111,000. Kelso calls, and shows {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

. Blake is at risk with {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{9-Spades}

.

The flop comes lovely for Blake, {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

. The turn gives Kelso more outs, as the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

peels off opening up a flush draw. And the draw gets there on the river when the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

makes Blake the nuts, and sends Blake Kelso home for the night.

For his efforts, Blake Kelso will take home $24,133 and the appreciation of the remaining 18 players.
