Two Hands With George Kozel

George Kozel is playing his first WSOP event and, if he keeps running like this, he'll be back for more.

Kozel told us he was down to his last 8,000 when he pushed all in with {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} after two clubs landed on the flop. He got two calls, both by players with over-pairs, and scooped the pot after hitting his flush on the river.

That hand bumped his stack to 24,000 and set up his next double up when, two hands later, he got all in pre with kings vs. his opponent's queens. When the kings held, Kozel racked up more chips, taking his stack to a solid 54,000.
