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

Andrew Kelsall

Andrew Kelsall opened to 4,000 from early position and Ryan Hoenig defended his big blind.

On the Q♠J♣5♦ flop, Hoenig led for 3,000 and Kelsall called.

Hoenig then checked the 10♦ turn. Kelsall put out a bet of 10,000 before Hoenig clicked it to 22,000. A few seconds later, Kelsall announced all-in for around 75,000.

Hoenig smiled as he flipped over K♥K♦, blockers to the straights, and folded the rest of his hand after a failed bluff.

However, as it turns out Kelsall took it one step further, tabling A♠A♦A♣8♠, for trip aces in his hand being further blockers to broadway.

"Old guy's not quite dead yet," Kelsall joked as he raked in the chips.
