Calling Kelly

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dan Kelly opened with a raise to 800 from under the gun. It folded around to the big blind who reraised to 2,500. Kelly leaned forward to get a look at his neighbor's stack, sat back for a moment, then announced he was all in.

His opponent wrinkled his brow in thought, taking a full minute to consider the situation as he revolved chips around between his fingers. He rechecked his cards, then, finally, made the call.

Kelly showed {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and his opponent {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The board came {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, and the eights held. Kelly has been knocked back to just 4,800 after that one.
