Don Cheadle Out-Flips J.P. Kelly to End the Day

Don Cheadle

In the end, it came down to a flip for Don Cheadle and J.P. Kelly. Cheadle moved all in with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Kelly called with {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. Cheadle's support on the rail, including Annie Duke, was thrilled to see a queen flop, {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}. The {6-Hearts} on the turn, however, was a sweat card as it gave Cheadle a flush draw. He needed an eight or a heart to prolong the match even further, but the river blanked {6-Spades}.

Cheadle will return tomorrow to play Doyle Brunson in Round 2.
