Kenyon McKellar Eliminated in 16th Place

Two consecutive hands got the best of Kenyon Mckellar and were enough to eliminate him in 16th place.

In the first hand Jeffrey Bennett moved all in when action was folded to him in the small blind. Kenyon Mckellar was in the big blind and tanked for a good four minutes and muttered, "I know I have you beat" before calling. Unfortunately for Mckellar, he was wrong.

Mckellar: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Bennett: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Mckellar made a king-high straight, but was bested by Bennet's flush on a board that read {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Mckellar was down to about 18,000 chips, and on the very next hand called Barry Hulunian's raise,to 19,000, putting himself all in.

Mckellar: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Hulunian: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Neither the {4-Spades} on the turn nor the {5-Spades} on the river were any help to Mckellar, who was left without any chips.
