Kelly Goes from Short Stack to Contender

[user25067]

In less than one level, Dan Kelly has gone from 260,000 chips to nearly a million.

Brian Hodhod opened for 54,000 from the cutoff and Dan Kelly moved all-in for 456,000 from the big blind. Hodhod made the call.

Kelly {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}
Hodhod {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Kelly was looking good on the {10-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} flop, but the {J-Spades} hit the turn, giving Hodhod command of the hand. However, Kelly hit the {8-Hearts} on the river to make a set and instead of hitting the rail, he doubled his stack to 930,000.
