The hand began with Tay Nguyen raising from under the gun and getting three callers -- Michael Santoro (UTG+1), Steven Kelly (SB), and Kenny Hsiung (BB). The flop came 
. Kelly bet, Hsiung raised, Nguyen three-bet, and Santoro folded. Kelly then made it four bets (24,000 total), Hsiung got out, and Nguyen called.
The turn was the

and another bet from Kelly and call from Nguyen.
