Kessler Revs Up

[user65508]

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler started the dinner break with 6,600 in chips and is already up to 24,000 after just two hands. On the first hand, Kessler held A-J and flopped a jack against an opponent holding pocket queens. Kessler spiked an ace on the river for two pair and doubled up.

The very next hand Kessler caught K-Q and flopped Broadway. A player in the small blind got it all in with Kessler and was drawing for help holding pocket tens. The tens couldn't catch up and Kessler moved quickly up to 24,000.
