JP Kelly has bought in late here in the ISPT Wembley Main Event and has not got off to the best of starts having lost a decent sized pot to Nicolas Cardyn.
Kelly led for 2,200 from under the gun on a flop and Cardyn called from his seat in the hijack. The completed a possible heart flush but Kelly did not slow down; instead, he increased his bet to 4,800. Cardyn asked for confirmation of the bet amount, possibly because it sounded like 2,800. Once armed with his new information, Cardyn raised to 12,200. Kelly face remained expressionless as he mucked his cards.
Cardyn is now rapidly approaching 200,000 chips in this tournament and is on a roll it seems.

Joining the action on a flop, Jamie Burland had bet 9,000 from late position and saw Alain Fustin raise to 21,000 from two seats over. Burland, dressed impeccably in a shirt and tie, raised all in for 56,000. This all in bet sent Fustin into the tank for close to two minutes before he emerged with a call.
Burland turned over and Fustin must have thought they were on the river because he initially slammed his cards onto the felt face down towards the muck before retrieving them and flipping them over. Fustin's was not drawing dead, but it was drawing to just two outs. Those outs failed to materialise as the river was the and Burland doubled up.
