Jon Kelly finishes 16th at the LA Poker Classic

Alan Goehring limps for $20,000 under the gun, Michael Woo limps, and Jon Kelley moves all in from the button for $136,000. Steven Simmons calls from the button, Goehring folds, and Woo folds. Jon Kelley shows Ac-Qs, and he's in a race situation against the pocket jacks (Jd-Jh) of Simmons.

The flop comes Qh-10c-3s, and Kelley takes the lead with a pair of queens. The turn card is the 5s, and Simmons needs a jack on the river to bust him. The river card? The Js. Jon Kelley is eliminated in 16th place, earning $46,502.

With Jon Kelley's elimination, we've lost our last celebrity player. But both he and James Woods made it all the way to Day 4, which is commendable.

Down to 15 players, there is no more hand-for-hand play until the next money jump for 12th place.
