Hold'em -

From the cutoff, Kyle Kloeckner raises to 25,000 for the second hand in a row. Next to him, John-Paul Kelly moves all in for a total of 64,000. Action passes back around to Kloeckner, and he pauses for a minute before making the call. The hands are shown down:

Kloeckner: {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Kelly: {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

There's an ace right in the door for Kloeckner, as the flop comes down {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} {A-Spades}. The turn and river come {8-Clubs} and {Q-Spades}, doing nothing to help Kelly. He came into today on the short stack, and he is headed out just a few minutes into the action. For his three-day effort, he will pocket more than $22,000.
