Kelly Picks Up a Pot On the Turn

Mark Tschirch raised 50,000 from the button and John-Paul Kelly called. The flop came {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and Kelly led for 65,000. Tschirch called.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Kelly bet again, this time for 125,000. Tschirch laid down his hand and Kelly took it down.

What They're Playing For

This is on the line!
This is on the line!
Apart from the $194,434 first prize, both these players are fighting it out for the coveted Gold Bracelet.

The Bracelet has just been delivered by the floor staff and is now sitting directly between both players as they continue to battle it out.

Back and Forth

Both players are taking their turns in stealing each others big blind.

The last four hands have seen a 50,000-chip raise from the button take the pot to leave us pretty much where we started.

If things continue to go like this, we could be here a long time!

Tschirch Tastes First One

Marc Tschirch raised to 50,000 with John-Paul Kelly making the call.

The flop fell down {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Kelly check-called a 50,000-chip bet from Tschirch. The turn fell the {J-Diamonds} and again Kelly checked to see Tschirch fire for 135,000.

Kelly mucked, and Tschirch took down his first pot of heads up play.

Kelly Wins the First Pot of Heads Up

Marc Tschirch raised to 75,000 from the button and John-Paul Kelly called. The board came {10-Clubs} {K-Spades} {2-Spades} {3-Hearts} with both players checking the flop and turn. The river was the {8-Clubs} and John-Paul Kelly bet 75,000. Tschirch called.

Kelly showed {Q-?} {8-?} for a pair of eights, taking down the first pot of heads up action.

Jason Dewitt Eliminated In 3rd Place ($78,826)

Jason Dewitt - 3rd Place
