Kelsall Doubles Through Kihara; Final Table Set

Level 22 : Limits 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

While Billy Baxter's elimination was going on at the other table, another hand was in progress. Naoya Kihara raised from under the gun, Andrew Kelsall three-bet on the button, and Kihara called. Kihara drew two and Kelsall one. Kihara then check-called a bet from Kelsall.

Kihara drew two on the second draw and Kelsall one. Kihara checked, Kelsall bet 100,000 from a total stack of 110,000, and Kihara called.

Both players drew one going into the final draw, prompting an "Ooh!" from Kihara.

Kihara bet 10,000 dark, and Kelsall checked his cards. He then called, revealing an eight perfect 8x5x4x3x2x. Kihara showed 7x6x5x2x and, with a sense of showmanship, slowly peeled the final card.

"I need a three or four," he said as he carefully revealed his final card. "That can't be a three or four," he quickly said, as it was clear the card was a paint. He flipped the Qx and was left with 130,000.
