Kelton's Crushing

We came across a very tense situation over on table 367, where Keith Uchima and Casey Kelton were involved in a massive preflop betting war.

Uchima raised from early position but Kelton came back with a reraise from next door. The action folded around back to Uchima, who four-bet it to more than 20,000, but Kelton returned fire with a five-bet shove, sending Uchima deep into the tank.

"Sorry guys, it's a big hand," Uchima announced to the table. After about three minutes, he turned his attention back to Kelton. "Will you show me if I fold?"

Kelton agreed, and after another 30 seconds Uchima open-folded {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Kelton was true to his word, rolling up {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}!
