Twice as Nice, Twice
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Xiaohu Liu raised to 30,000 from the hijack. John Kelly, seated elbow-to-elbow with him in the cutoff, shoved all in for 85,000.
Liu made the call.
John Kelly: A♦K♥K♣4♠
Xiaohu Liu: K♠8♦6♦3♣
Liu knew he would be behind, but with such a big stack and so much at stake bounty-wise, it was an easy call. Kelly appreciated in, he doubled up in a runout of 7♠10♥3♥7♦5♥.
Kelly took that 210,000-chip stack and found another double-up a couple hands later, to remain in the event with some fighting chips.
