Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Limits: 1,200-4,200
Biao Ding limped from early position before Zachary Zaret raised to 3,600 from the cutoff. In the big blind, Andrew Kelsall potted to 12,600 and both opponents called.
As the A♣7♠5♠ flop was being revealed, Kelsall announced "Thirty-three three," as he was all-in for 33,300 in the dark. Ding instantly called off his 24,400 stack. Zaret thought it over for a while before he said, "Let's try to win a big one," and called.
Andrew Kelsall: A♠A♥6♥2♥
Biao Ding: 5♦4♣3♣2♠
Zachary Zaret: A♦K♥K♣7♣
Kelsall flopped the case ace for top set while Biao had the nut low and a wheel wrap. The board ran out Q♥8♠ as Kelsall and Biao chopped up Zaret's chips.
