Kelly Wins a Massive Pot to Close the Day
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
As the bagging and tagging began, JP Kelly was seen with a massive stack, a lot more than he had when we checked on him minutes before. Kelly told us the details of the hand that got him up to almost 4 million.
A player in late position opened for 45,000 and the cutoff called, and so did Kelly on the button, and the player in the big blind. Action checked to Kelly on 
with two hearts. Kelly bet 160,000 and the big blind gave up. The initial raiser called, the cutoff folded.
The 
hit the turn and the initial raiser checked. Kelly bet 275,000 and saw his opponent shove all in for about 1.5 million more. Holding 
for the straight and flush, Kelly called. His opponent tabled 
, leaving him no river in the deck that could save him.
