A series of preflop raises led to three players taking to a flop.

With over 20,000 already in the middle, Tim Kelly checked his action from the big blind, and Mike Hancock fired out a 12,000 bet from the hijack.

Action was then on Daniel Schmidt, who raised all-in from the button, and both Kelly and Hancock called off their shorter stack.

Kelly was ahead holding top two-pair, but the turn kept things sweaty as it paired Hancock.

Fortunately for Kelly, the dealer dropped the on the river, securing him the triple-up, while Hancock was left with just 400 in chips after the hand and was eliminated shortly after.
