and Polchlopek

On the flop of

Radoslaw Kopec is back on the up after doubling through JP Kelly with an interesting (shall we say) and aggressive play.
The two were heads-up to a 
flop and Kopec checked to face a 8,600 bet from the Brit. He thought for a minute and then made a large check-raise all-in for 84,600. Kelly looked at the board and his opponent before making the call with 
for top pair.
Kopec table 
for overs, a double-gustshot and back-door flush draw. He got instant service on the turn to claim the pot. Kelly looked perplexed at the play of his opponent and was left with 26,500.

Rupert Elder had 90,000 chips not so long ago, but now he has none. He swung by and told us he lost three all-ins in-a-row. The biggest these was when he three-bet called with ace-ten versus the "crazy Japanese" player to his right, who woke up with ace-king.
Next stop for Rupert is the Main Event Day 1A tomorrow.

JP Kelly tangled with the recently very active Math More and managed to get him to make a painful looking bet-fold on the river.
Kelly opened to 4,300 and was called by More on the button en route to a 
flop. Kelly c-bet for 7,200 and and More called to see the . This time Kelly checked, and called when the $10/$20 live cash game grinder bet 16,400.
The river paired the board with 
and Kelly checked again and once more faced a 16,400 bet. The Brit took little time in testing his opponent for his final 35,000 as he check-raised all-in. More looked pained and took about five minutes to concede defeated.
