Kelly KO'd by the House

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Johnny Kelly saw an opening bet of 4,200 and got his short-stack of 12,900 into the middle. He as called by the player in the small blind as well as the original raiser and the action went heads-up with Kelly praying his hand was going to win and treble up.

Both of Kelly's callers checked the flop and turn as the board came down {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} , but on the river of {8-Clubs} , the small blind led for 20,000 and got a fold. He showed {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and that full house on the turn was easily enough to outrank Kelly's {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} .

"It's cost me a lot of money, that hand." said Kelly. Didn't Doyle Brunson once say the same thing?
