Thomas Eliminates Kellen
Anthony Kellen limped in from middle position and Ryan Phan limped from Kellen's left. Russell Licking completed in the small bind and Daniel Thomas checked his option from the big.
The four players went to a flop of 
. Licking led into the field for 1,200. Everyone except Phan called.
The turn added the 
to the board, and Licking once again led with a bet, this time for 1,500. Both Thomas and Kellen called.
The 
hit the felt on the river, and this time Licking slowed down, ultimately checking it over to Thomas, who moved all in for 8,400.
Kellen, who had 4,200 left in his stack, leaned back and let out a deep sigh. After a lot of thought, he called off the last of his chips while Licking folded.
Thomas tabled 
for trip threes. Kellen revealed 
for a slow-played overpair, and hit the rail.
