Kelly Hangs On For a Double
Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mike Kelly bet 16,000 from middle position on a flop of Q♣4♣3♣, Owen Balcarcel moved all in from early position, and Kelly called for 77,000.
Mike Kelly: A♠K♣ 
Owen Balcarcel: A♣10♦
Both players had a flush draw, but Kelly needed to dodge Balcarcel's nut flush draw. The K♠ turn gave him top pair, while the 3♥ fell on the river to earn Kelly a double up.
