A Chip and a Chair

Joe Kuether just doubled up twice in a row. First, he moved all in on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} with {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} against the {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} of Kevin Calenzo. The turn {9-Spades} gave Kuether the lead and the {3-Hearts} river gave him the pot.

Then, he moved all in preflop on the button holding {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} and got called by Jeff Fielder in the small blind who held {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. The flop was {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} making the likelihood of a chopped pot slim. The {9-Spades} turn left Kuether on the edge of elimination, but amazingly he hit a three-outter on the river when it fell the {5-Diamonds}.
