Kelso In the House

Blake Kelso raised to 5,200 in middle position, only to have Tim West shove all in for 31,500. Action folded back around to Kelso who made the call with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

West was ahead with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and was looking good to double when the flop came {4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}. That all changed when the {K-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Suddenly West needed an eight to stay alive.

Alas, it was not meant to be as the {3-Spades} came on the river. West was eliminated while Kelso increased his stack to 132,000.
