J.P. Kelly Wins Event No. 20 ($194,434) Marc Tschrich Eliminated in Second Place ($120,102)

Marc Tschirch raised to 55,000 on the button and J.P. Kelly reraised to 150,000. Tschirch called and both players saw a flop of 854.

Kelly bet 155,000 and Tschirch called. The turn was the Q and Kelly bet 300,000. Tschirch moved all in and Kelly instantly called with AQ. Tschirch was well behind with A5 and the 2 on the river sealed his fate.

J.P. Kelly won the tournament and his first career gold bracelet. Kelly is much more well-known for his online success, particularly in the bigger buy-in tournaments, but his $194,434 first-place prize makes up the biggest of his career.

Congratulations to our champion.
