Postflop 4♠ 7♦ 9♠ Nam Le tried to scare off Daniel Kelly by betting a huge one that covered his opponent. Kelly with just a hundred behind decided to call and was on showdown for his tournament life.
Le: K♥ 8♥
Kelly: A♦ Q♣
Kelly’s in good hands with his big chick but needed to avoid a king or eight to survive. No king or eight on the turn J♣ but it did give Le additional outs. And again, no king or eight on the river but indeed it was one of the additional outs when the dealer tabled 10♥ completing Le’s runner-runner straight!
Le jumps over the field now with over 660,000 while Kelly’s tournament is done. The latter goes home with $9,400.
