Kelly Killing It

JP Kelly on Day 1c of the Main Event

When we arrived at JP Kelly's the table, the Brit, from the big blind position, and one opponent were already involved in a hand on a {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. Kelly checked here and then called the bet of 800 from his opponent. A {7-Clubs} was then slapped on the turn and Kelly opted to check. His opponent again fired out a bet, this time of 1,300. Kelly check-raised here, making it 3,800. A call and the dealer would turn over the final card on the board.

River: {k-Clubs}

Kelly quickly bet 6,600 and his opponent made the call even quicker. When Kelly turned over {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, his opponent's cards flew into the muck and Kelly scooped up the pot.
