Bobby Oboodi Doubles Through George Kelly

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Bobby Oboodi
Bobby Oboodi

On the last hand before the break, we get to the table with a 121,000 chip wager in front of George Kelly and Bobby Oboodi all in for 212,000 total. The board shows {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Kelly thinks for nearly a minute before deciding to make the call with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for top pair. Oboodi is ahead with {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and bottom two pair.

The turn is the {Q-Diamonds} adding a few more outs for Kelly to win the pot as a Ten would give him a straight.

The river is the {8-Spades}, however, and Oboodi doubles up to approximately 460,000 in chips while Kelly slips to just 115,000.
