Kelly Finds Value

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

JP Kelly is up to around 43,000 after getting three streets of value versus Tyler Kenney.

The Team PokerStars Pro Kelly raised to 750 from the hijack and Kenney was the only caller from the button on the way to a {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. Kelly continued for 900 and was called, as he was for 1,500 on the {4-Diamonds} turn. The river fell {4-Diamonds} and the Brit wasted little time in measuring his third barrel, for 3,300. Kenney took his time, called, and then mucked when seeing his opponent’s {8-Spades}{9-Spades} for two-pair. That put Kenney back to his starting stack.

Tens Good for Kenney

From early position, Bryn Kenney raised to 800. Action folded to the player in the cutoff seat and he made the call. The small blind was the third player to see the flop and it came down {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. All three players checked and the turn brought the {5-Diamonds}. After the small blind checked, Kenney bet 1,350. The cutoff seat mucked, but the small blind called.

The {K-Diamonds} fell on the river and the small blind fired 1,500. Kenney quickly called and showed the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. His opponent only revelaed the {5-Hearts} and mucked his hand.

Greenstein Strong Early

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein is doing quite well here on Day 1a of the 2011 PokerStars.com EPT London. He's up to about 90,000 in chips thanks to a big hand with pocket aces versus queens and jacks.

Greenstein only has one prior EPT Main Event cash on record. That one came back in 2009 in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure where he placed 148th. He'll surely be looking to break the trend and finish deep in this one, but only time will tell as it's still early.

Top Two Good Enough for Nacho

Two players checked on the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop before Nacho Barbero bet 2,500. The first of the checkers called and the second folded.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and action checked to Barbero again. He bet 4,500 and his opponent called.

After the {7-Spades} came in on fifth street, both players checked.

Barbero tabled the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for top two pair and his opponent mucked.

Doyle Picks One Up

Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson

After a player in the hijack seat raised to 1,025 preflop, Doyle Brunson called from the cutoff seat. Those were the only two players to see the flop and it came down {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The preflop raiser checked and Brunson fired 1,700. His opponent took a minute and then called.

The turn card was the {K-Hearts} and paired the board with cowboys. Sitting beneath his cowboy hat, Brunson fired 3,000 after his opponent checked again. Another minute or so passed before the player folded and Brunson scooped the pot to move to 37,000 in chips.
