No Title Defense for Kelly
Dan Kelly, who won the $25,000 buy-in version of this event last year, has recently been eliminated from the tournament. His downfall began when he raised to 2,800 preflop and David Gent three-bet to 7,500 from the button. Kelly responded by moving all in and Gent quickly called off his last 58,500.
Kelly: 
Gent: 
The board ran out 
and Gent held on to double; meanwhile, Kelly was left with 60K.
A short time later, Kelly raised preflop, Isaac Baron three-bet, and Kelly moved all in. Baron made the easy call with pocket aces, and the rest was history.
