Kelly Busts

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The player under the gun made it 1,800, and JP Kelly moved all in for 9,300 in middle position. It folded around to the player in the big blind, and once he got a count, he announced "call." The original raiser folded, and we were off to the races.

Kelly: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Kelly was able to survive the flop: {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}. However, the {10-Diamonds} came on the turn, meaning that Kelly would need an eight or a seven to survive the hand. The river was the {4-Clubs}, and Kelly was busted about 50 players from the money.

The Money Watch

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The clock says 260 players are left, but only 198 of them will be in the money. With 75 minutes left in the night, it looks like we will be on pace to hit the money tonight, but the eliminations could very well slow down in the final level.

Royal Flush Beats Musumeci

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Amanda Musumeci moved her shorter stack all in. An opponent a few seats down shipped his stack all in. The others folded and Musumeci and her opponent turned their hands over.

Musumeci: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Spades} giving Musumeci's opponent a flopped set and put Musumeci in a big hole.

There was some hope on the turn when it came the {q-Spades}. An ace or a queen would give Musumeci a winning full house.

The river, the {10-Spades} put a straight on the board but Musumeci's opponent held the {j-Spades} for the rivered Royal Flush!

Musumeci exited and her opponent was so excited. He told the table that was his first Royal ever and it was a great way to win one!
