A bizarre series of events has led to the fall of Ryan Julius from the chip lead and the rise of Michael Kelly. After a series of bets and raises preflop that involved Matt Stout and chip leader Ryan Julius, Michael Kelly decided to throw his hat into the ring and shove all in for 133,200. Stout folded (what he later said to be jacks) and Julius made the call. Their cards:
Julius: K K
Kelly: A J
Board: A 9 5 2 8
Kelly doubled up on the hand to climb close to 300,000 and Julius took a huge hit to his stack and fell back to around 150,000. “What just happened,” said a dazed and confused Julius after the hand. “I need a Corona.”
