Rich Gets Richer

Oh dear, we are down one Cristiano Blanco, and if he wasn't before, Richard Kellett is now very, very definitely our chip leader on 55,000.

There was, presumably, some good action preflop, but we arrived as Kellett was leading out on the {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} flop. Blanco, himself one of our larger stacks, shoved -- and Kellett called in a snap, jumping out of his chair, overwhelmed with some sort of emotion.

Blanco: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Kellett: {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Turn: {5-Diamonds}
River: {4-Spades}

Blanco made an indescribable face and left. Kellett now has around twice as many chips as the next biggest stack. Wow.
