Board:
Despite the JP Kelly fans trying to suck the ace out of the deck it didn't materialize and JP Kelly had doubled up Konjuhi.
Michael Kaufman just raised to 40,000 from the hi-jack and Vanessa Selbst, who was in the cut-off, opted to three bet to 82,000 right away. Nobody wanted to play with Selbst who took down this pot without seeing a flop.
