Dan Kelly Eliminated In Brutal Fashion

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Well that was quick. Dan Kelly got it in with the nuts, but was eliminated by Fernando Brito.

Under the gun, Brito raised to 400. Kelly popped it to 1,400 from middle position and action folded back around to Brito. He made it 3,900 to go and Kelly called, landing an {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop. Brito checked, Kelly bet 5,600, and Brito made it 18,000 to play. Kelly went all in for about the starting and Brito called without hesitation.

Kelly: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Brito: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Brito was in horrible shape, but found a miraculous {8-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} river to make a full house, sending Kelly to the rail and chipping up to about 100,000.
