Kellett Doubles Again

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Aden Salazar open limped from under the gun before Vincent Lam raised to 250,000 from early position. Action folded around to Richard Kellett on the button, who moved all in for 820,000. Salazar got out of the way while Lam made the snap call to put Kellett at risk yet again.

Richard Kellett: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Vincent Lam: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Kellett was ahead with his aces, and the {2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} runout couldn't offer enough help to Lam. Kellett managed to survive another all in spot as the at risk player, the fourth time he has done so in the last 15 or so hands.

Robert Topham

Pot-Limit Omaha

In a blind versus blind situation, Aden Salazar raised to 300,000 and Robert Topham tanked a minute before shoving for a remaining stack around 900,000. "Oh I didn't mean that!" said Salazar jokingly, before ended up making the call:

Robert Topham: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Aden Salazar:{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Topham had good hopes for the double up but the board ran out {10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} and Salazar hit a straight to eliminate Topham before the final table for $18,558.

Kellett Battles Back from Brink of Elimination

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Richard Kellett
Richard Kellett

No-Limit Omaha

Richard Kellett's stack was reduced to just 45,000 after he ran his queen-jack into Sandeep Pulusani's ace-jack and failed to improve, doubling up Pulusani.

On the very next hand, Kellett found himself forced all in as the big blind. Pulusani put in a raise to 225,000 from under the gun. Vincent Lam on the button came along for the ride, creating side pot action. The pair checked through the {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop to the {2-Clubs} turn, before Pulusani fired 475,000 on the {k-Spades} river, getting a snap fold from Lam.

Richard Kellett: {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Sandeep Pulusani: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Kellett had managed to pair his king on the river to stay alive and triple up. On the following hand, Esther Taylor limped from the button, leaving the action on Kellett in the small blind. He tanked for several minutes, to the point of players at the other table noticing and complaining about the tanking. Eventually the floor was called, and Kellett limped in as the five-second countdown was nearly ending.

Pulusani quickly moved all in from the big blind. Taylor got out of the way and Kellett once again started tanking. The clock was once again called and Kellett again made the call nearly as late as he could.

Richard Kellett: {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Sandeep Pulusani: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Kellett was dominated, but picked up an open ender on the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. The {7-Hearts} turn gave him a pair to put him in the lead, and the {4-Clubs} river changed nothing. Kellett had survived another all in, earning himself another double up, but he wasn't done yet.

On the next hand, Lam opened from under the gun for 250,000. Kellett, now on the button, tanked again before moving nearly all in, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Lam moved all in, and Kellett started to tank again.

"What are you thinking about?" Lam asked, after which Kellett snap called.

Richard Kellett: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Vincent Lam: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Kellett was ahead and Lam was unable to improve on the {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} runout. Kellett once again survived and doubled up, increasing his stack 12 fold after doubling up Pulusani a few hands prior.
