JP Kelly Spikes River Ace For a Monster Pot

We just saw what could be the largest pot of the tournament so far.

We caught up to the action preflop. JP Kelly had raised to 3600 under the gun + 1, He was called by a player in middle position. The player on the button then moved all in for 19,600. Then the player in the big moved all in over the top of that with a stack covering Kelly's.

This sent Kelly into the tank. Eventually, after several minutes of think, Kelly called off his last 53,100

JP Kelly{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Button{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Big Blind{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The flop fell down {8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} leaving the big blind in the lead. The turn came the {4-Hearts}. Brick.

The river wasn't a brick though as it fell the {A-Diamonds}.

JP Kelly was able to scoop the entire pot with that hand, pushing him to over 140,000 in chips.

After the hand, the player in middle position said that he had {J-}{J-} which would've flopped a set if he called.
