Kelly More than Doubles

Ollie Garland

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player under the gun limped in, as did a player in early position. Johnny Kelly, in middle position, moved all in for 14,500. The original limper called and the player in early positon got out of the way.

Johnny Kelly: 8♣8♥ All in
Under-the-Gun: Q♦J♥

Kelly was ahead and the 4♥5♣6♦ flop was a safe one. The A♣ turn and 10♣ river proved no danger and Kelly found more than the full double up.

John Thornton opened the action with a raise to 7,000 from middle position. The hijack player three-bet to 15,000 before Thornton moved all in for 81,000. The hijack immediately called in for roughly 10,000 less, and players went off to a runout.

Hijack: A♠A♣ All in
John Thornton: A♥K♦

The board ran out 6♥Q♣10♦7♦J♦ and the river Jack improved Thornton to the best hand as he stacked his opponent and raked in all the chips.

Ollie Garland

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The under the gun player raised, Denis Ethier called in the hijack and Alan Weiland three-bet jammed for 28,000, from the button. The original raiser called, Ethier back jammed for his stack of approximately 85,000 and the player under the gun called off the bet for their tournament life.

Alan Weiland: A♦J♥ All in
Under-the-Gun: K♥Q♥ All in
Denis Ethier: 7♣7♥

This three-way all in fell in the favour of Weiland on the J♣J♦2♣ flop. Weiland had the main pot locked up on the A♣ turn, ensuring his triple up. The K♣ river gave Ethier a flush to eliminate the player under the gun, winning him the side pot.

A Turn Stab Is All It Takes for Kelly

Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Johnny Kelly raised to 4,000 from the button, receiving one call from the player in the big blind.

The Q♠9♣Q♣ flop saw both players knuckle to the K♥ on the turn. The big blind checked again and Kelly placed a delayed continuation of 3,000; enough to earn a swift fold and this small pot.
