The flop kept Helm in the lead, though Kelly picked up the better low draw. "Keep it high," Helm told the dealer after the turned. The dealer obliged and put out the . Helm held and doubled through Kelly.

Despite losing that hand, Kelly is still sitting pretty with 37,000. He told us that if he makes Day 2, which he more than likely will, it'll be the fourth time he's done so at the 2013 WSOP.
