Casella Knocks Out Khalili
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with four players in the hand, roughly 11,000 in the pot, and the board showing 6?5?A?4?.
The small blind checked to Sohale Khalili, who bet all in for 11,300, and Michael Casella in early position made the call. Both the button and the small blind folded, leaving the players heads up, with Khalili at risk.
Sohale Khalili: A?3? 
Michael Casella: A?Q?
Khalili and Casella both had a pair of aces , but Khalili was behind the bigger kicker of Casella. Needing a three or deuce, the 6? was no help to Khalili, and he was eliminated.
