Quad Queens for Kelly
On Day 1 we told you about Matt Kelly and how he had made several Day 2s thus far at the 2013 World Series of Poker only to fall short of the money each and every time. Thankfully, Kelly has broken that streak here today. Not only that, he's on a bit of a heater that could see him make a deep run.
In a recent hand, Kelly limped from middle position only to have Great Britain's Kim Sherlin raise it from the small blind. John Monnette then made it three bets from the big, two calls followed and the flop came down 
.
Sherlin checked, Monnette bet and once again two calls were made. When the 
turn put three queens on the board, action checked to Kelly and he bet. Sherlin got out of the way, Monnette called and the dealer put out the 
on the river. Monnette check-called a bet and Kelly proudly tabled the 
. Monnette took another look back at his hand, which someone indicated had aces, and then sent them to the muck.
