Kelsall Eliminates Duczak

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jean Robert Bellande opened the action under the gun with a raise to 2,000. Andrew Kelsall called in the next position. Action then folded to Aaron Duczak, who completed in the big blind.

The flop was K28. Bellande checked and Kelsall bet 3,500. Duczak then went all in for 18,700, Bellande folded and Kelsall fairly quickly called.

Aaron Duczak: K9 All in
Andrew Kelsall: K10

Duczak needed a nine on either the turn or the river, but it wasn’t meant to be as the Jx turn and J river rolled off, leaving Kelsall with the slightly better kicker.
