Kelly Cut Back

The nightmare has continued for the Team PokerStars Pros, with Great Britain's JP Kelly down to 9,500 in chips as we approach the first break of the day.

The player in the UTG +1 position limped in before the flop and the action folded to Kelly who called from the small blind. David Chiu called from the big blind, then Kelly led out for 150 after the flop of {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}. Chiu folded, but the UTG +1 player called before he called Kelly's opening bet of 450 on the turn of the {3-Clubs}.

Kelly then led out again for 500 on the river of the {2-Diamonds}, which had the UTG +1 player confused. "Jeez, you must have a monster if you're betting that much," he moaned. "I can't lay this down, I call."

Kelly insta-mucked and the UTG +1 player showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for trips to take down the pot.

Kelly may still be alive, but the same can't be said for Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier - he gone.
