Kelly Gets Respect

Kevin Song opened for 15,000 from under the gun and was called by Jordan Lewis on the button and Ryan Pochedly in the small blind. JP Kelly, who was in the big blind, thought a big and then cut out a raise to 66,000 and pushed it into the middle.

Everyone folded pretty quickly and Kelly took down the pot hassle free.

Kelly, who started the day with just over 500,000, had a rough first level and was knocked down to 230,000. However, he has chipped back up to 290,000 as a result of this hand.
