Kelly Eliminated

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

JP Kelly

Action folded to JP Kelly in the cutoff and he raised to 1,800. The player on the button made the call as did Phil "Unabomber" Laak in the big blind. When the flop fell {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, action checked to the button and he quickly bet 3,800. Laak folded, Kelly moved all in for 15,500, and the button snap-called.

Kelly: {9-Spades}{6-Spades}
Button: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Kelly had flopped two pair and was ahead, but his opponent had a plethora of draws. Unfortunately for Kelly, one of those draw was filled when the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn, giving the button a flush. The {5-Hearts} river was no help to Kelly and he was eliminated late on Day 1.
