Matthew Kelly Bubbles in Bizarre Fashion

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Hold'em

In a bizarre fashion, Matthew Kelly busted the Mixed NLH/PLO event. Kelly was big blind, moving all in for his last 12,300 over an early raise to 2,500 from Jordan Polk. In the thrill of the moment, Kelly accidentally flipped over his hand, showing {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Polk still tanked for a while and eventually liked his odds with {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}. He called and the {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board delivered a bad beat, leaving Kelly empty-handed.
