Kelly Losing Big Ones
JP Kelly started out so good today, but after losing two big pots his once oh so big stack is reduced to a mere 12,500.
In the first of the two big hands Tobias Peters raised it up to 450 under the gun. Peters received five callers, including Kelly in position. On a 
rainbow board Peters continued for 1,150. The player in seat five made the call and Kelly bumped it up to 3,800. Both Peters and seat five made the call.
On the 
on the turn Peters checked to seat five. That gentleman all of the sudden bet out 7,000 and Kelly made the call. Peters now shoved all in for 18,000 total and seat five reluctantly folded. Kelly made the call and showed a set of eights, but he was drawing to a single out against Peters set of nines. The river 
spelled doom for Kelly who lost that big pot.
Not much later Kelly squeezed to 2,000 from the small blind after a cutoff open and button call for 500 each. The cutoff folded but Uladzimir Zakharau made the call on the button. 
and Kelly continued with a 1,600 bet. Zakharau made the call and the man from Belarus also snap called the 4,800 turn bet Kelly made after the 
had hit. The 
fell on the river and with four hearts out there Kelly now checked. Zakharau bet 10,000 and Kelly quickly released.
While raking in the chips Zakharau showed the 
, and later the 
for the rivered nuts. Kelly wasn't bluffed, but that knowledge doesn't get him his chips back for now.
