That's How You Win a Poker Tournament
JP Kelly was in cutoff seat, and he opened the pot with a raise. After some fighting back and forth with big blind John Juanda, he ended up all in for 102,200 total. And the news was not good:
Kelly:
Juanda:
The flop came queen-high, rolling out to give Kelly at least a glimmer of hope.
Turn:
Bink!, as Greg Raymer says. Juanda didn't react -- he's seen this sort of thing a time or two before -- but he had to be stung by the two queens on board, leaving him drawing dead to the case ace. The river was the though, and Kelly finds his unlikely double up. He's well over 200,000 now, while Juanda has been crushed all the way back down around 50,000.
