Kneale Knocks Out Belforti

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Kristofer Kneale
Kristofer Kneale

On a four-way flop of 10?9?6?, Jason Kelp bet 1,500 and was called by Kristofer Kneale in the small blind. Justin Belforti check-raised to 5,200 with around 12,000 behind and that forced out Kelp.

Kneale then pushed all-in and Belforti called it off with the inferior stack.

Justin Belforti: Jx8x
Kristofer Kneale: 6?6?

Kneale was ahead with bottom set against the open-ended straight draw but fell behind on the Q? turn. However, the Q? river paired the board and that sent Belforti to the rail.
