Kelly Calls with Ace High
Level 20
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
JP Kelly raised under the gun to 20,000 and a couple positions down it was Ekrem Sanioglu also placing 20,000 in the middle from the hijack. Sanioglu hadn't seen that Kelly raised and wanted to open raise himself, but it was now ruled a call. The other players went out of the way and it was heads up to the flop.
Kelly checked and called the 32,000 bet Sanioglu made. Both players checked the 
on the turn and the dealer put the 
on the table for a river. Kelly checked for the third time. Sanioglu reached for chips and eventually decided to make it 65,000. Kelly called rather quickly and Sanioglu directly said "Good call". Sanioglu showed 
, Kelly tabled 
and received the chips in the pot.
