JP Nuts

Fabien Dunlop raised his button and JP Kelly called.

A flop: {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Kelly bet out 45,000, and Dunlop insta-folded.

No, not really!

Dunlop announced all in to Kelly's bet, and a very swift call from Kelly ensued as he turned over {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for the nuts. Dunlop's {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} was in pretty poor shape, and when redraws and the like failed to appear on the {A-Spades} turn and {9-Hearts} river, Kelly doubled right back up.

Stacks are even once more.

Fabien Dunlop Busts in 2nd Place (£84,512)

Our heads-upsers saw a {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} flop and JP Kelly bet out. Fabien Dunlop raised. Kelly moved all in. Dunlop called. All of this very quickly.

Kelly: {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for a flush draw
Dunlop: {J-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} for, er, a smaller flush draw

Turn: {5-Clubs}
River: {3-Diamonds}

The stacks were counted, and Dunlop was still in -- with just 19,000 chips. That's just over one big blind. Yikes.

So, all in next hand...

Dunlop: {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Kelly: {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Board: {4-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {A-Clubs}

Well, that didn't do it. Dunlop doubled up to a mere 38,000, but was still in.

So, all in the next hand as well...

Dunlop: {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Kelly: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Board: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {K-Spades}

And that's it. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

JP Kelly Wins Event #1 - £1,000 No Limit Hold'em (£136,803)

It was a pretty crazy roller coaster of a final table for young JP Kelly. He started the heads up with roughly a 1:3 chip deficit, and had won and lost the chip lead already by the time the chips went in with almost even stacks.

Nevertheless Kelly never lost his cool, and ultimately came out on top of 608 runners to pick up his second bit of bling of the year after winning the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold'em title at this year's WSOP in Vegas. Not only that, he picks up the additional honour of being the first ever British winner of a WSOPE bracelet.

As the crowd disperses and suddenly becomes much more interested in the other tournament going on today, and the media lose interest in the winner and start taking photos of each other with the bracelet instead, a deservedly pleased Kelly heads for the bar. Well played, sir, well played.
