Tony Gregg: XxXx/Kx6x7x7x/Xx
Todd Ivens: XxXx/4x8x2x4x/Xx

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Carol Fuchs: XxQxQx10xJx10xQx
Andrew Kelsall: KxKx8x2x8xXxXx

Andrew Kelsall's seat was recently seen empty and his former tablemates including his executioner Carol Fuchs kindly passed along the information of the hand.

Kallsall was all in on third street for his last 9,000 chips, and was ahead until seventh street with his kings and eights versus Fuchs queens and tens.

Fuchs however hit another queen on seventh to fill up and send Kelsall to the rail.

The always thoughtful Fuchs did tell PokerNews that she did feel bad about eliminating Kelsall with that bad beat
