Kings for Kelly In Six-Bet Pot

[user80015]

Facing a raise to 525, JP Kelly three-bet to 1,500 from the button only to have his opponent four-bet to 3,300.

With the action back on Kelly he decided that five-bet would be the best option and made it 6,000 to go only to have his opponent six-bet shove to put Kelly all in.

The 'Brit made the call tabling his {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} to be ahead of his opponent's {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} .

The board ran out {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} to see Kelly soar out to the chip lead with 44,500 in chips.

Andy Bloch's Scrabble Adventure

Chad Holloway

Andy Bloch is notorious for carrying his iPad to tournaments. He has been spotted numerous times playing Scrabble in between hands during events throughout the series.

Today is no different. Bloch is over at Table 35 enjoying a game of Scrabble. We didn't catch them all, but here are a few words we noticed as we walked by: joys, variole, lounge, creation, pray, larked, hung, habitus and dip. He'd better just hope his chip stack doesn't take a "dip" while he is preoccupied.
