The Chainsaw's Revving Up

Allen Kessler has won two significant hands in short order. He began with a preflop shove holding {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} and was up against pocket sevens. The board ran {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and his Broadway straight earned him a double up to 150,000.

Then he took down a three-way pot that earned him another 40,000 or so. Kessler went from shove-only stack to a little wiggle room to play some cards.
