Kelsall Doubles Through Reard
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Alexandre Reard moved all in from the small blind and AJ Kelsall called off for his remaining 3,500,000 in the big blind to put himself at risk.
AJ Kelsall: K♣Q♣
Alexandre Reard: 7♣5♣
Kelsall was ahead but Reard did have two live cards. The A♦10♥A♣ flop was clean for Kelsall with the 10♦ turn ensuring he would not be eliminated and at worst would chop up the pot. The 6♥ river kept his king high best to hand Kelsall a full double while putting a dent in Reard's still chip-leading stack.
