Kelling Falling; Lucas Nears 900K
There was around 100,000 in the pot on a flop of 
in a pot between Landen Lucas, who was in the big blind, and Jence Kelling, who was in middle position. Lucas checked to Kelling, who bet 55,000. He then made the call.
The turn came 
and Lucas checked again. Kelling announced 60,000, grabbing the appropriate chips and throwing them forward onto the table. Lucas called. The river fell 
. Lucas checked once more and Kelling reached for chips.
"That's a big bet," said Lucas as he saw Kelling grabbing the recently-in-play T25,000 chips.
"Not really. It's not," Kelling responded, throwing out a bet of 110,000. Lucas went into the tank.
"Well, come on," Kelling egged. "They're yours," he said.
Lucas decided he believed Kelling's words more than his actions and announced a call.
"I got shit," said Kelling, tossing his cards into the muck. Lucas tabled 
for trip aces with no kicker in play.
"Good hand," Kelling congratulated. "Impressive. Good hand."
With the pot, Lucas finds himself just shy of the 900,000-chip mark.
On the following hand, Kelling opened to 20,000 from early position and Will Pengelly shoved over him for 196,000 from the hijack. Kelling folded, giving Pengelly the pot preflop.
