Kessler Finds Two Double-Ups

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Allen Kessler shoved for his last 14,800 from late position and was called by a single player in the small blind.

Kessler: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Small blind: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

It was a race, but the {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} left Kessler with trips and he doubled through.

Shortly after, Kessler found himself all-in again with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} against an opponent's {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The board ran clean and Kessler doubled up again.

"Don't forget to add the part where Kessler tanked for 90 seconds with jacks," Aaron Massey, who is at the same table as Kessler, quipped.
