In the first hand of the day, Brandon Shack-Harris raised from the cutoff, AJ Kelsall three-bet from the small blind, Shack-Harris four-bet shoved for 140,000, and Kelsall called.
Kelsall drew two cards on the first draw and Shack-Harris one. Kelsall stood pat on the second draw, and Shack-Harris nodded. He drew one card.
Kelsall remained pat and Shack-Harris weighed his options for nearly two minutes. He ultimately chose to break his hand, flashing the 10x and discarding it.
Brandon Shack-Harris: 8x5x3x2x
AJ Kelsall: 7x5x4x3x2x
Despite Shack-Harris' best efforts, his decision turned out to be irrelevant as Kelsall held number one. Shack-Harris received a Qx as a mere formality and said his goodbyes to every player at the table.
