Kelly Goes Runner-Runner to Clip CJ

Charles Johnson, Jr. raised to 19,000 from middle position and David Kelly three-bet to 50,000 from the button. Johnson called, bringing a {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop. Johnson checked and Kelly insta-shoved for 283,000. Johnson beat him into the pot.

Johnson: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Kelly: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Johnson's trap worked, but it all came crashing down. Kelly picked up a gutshot draw with the {8-Hearts} turn, and incredibly the {7-Diamonds} river completed his straight.

Pfiefer was nearly drawing dead, and the {5-Clubs} turn put a stamp on it. Pfeifer hit the rail while Johnson took a commanding chip lead.
