Kennedy Doubles through Yaginuma

The action folded to Jesse Yaginuma who raised to 2,300 from middle position before Kerry Kennedy shoved from the button for 15,200. The blinds got out of the way before Yaginuma called, tabling {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} against Kennedy's {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Fortunately for Kennedy, he won the flip for his tournament life after the dealer spread the board of {J-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and doubled up, leaving Yaginuma with just a handful of chips.
