Chainsaw Chopped Up in Multi-Way Pot

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler raised to 4,200 from early position and got called in two places before the small blind reraised all in for 15,200. Everyone made the call and we saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Action checked to the button, who moved all in for his last 22,700. Kessler and the other remaining player each called before checking down the final two cards, which came {3-Clubs},{3-Diamonds}.

When the cards were shown, Kessler held {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} while the small blind held {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and the button held {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. When the last player mucked, the button won the hand and Kessler fell back to 54,000.
