The Chainsaw Continues to Run

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

We caught a glimpse of Allen Kessler's all in and double up recently. Kessler jammed all in for a little over 35,000 from middle position and Xi Yang called from the big blind.

Kessler tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} which was dominating Yang's {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The flop came {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both players paired their ace but Kessler still had the better kicker. The {q-Spades} landed on the turn giving Kessler two pair and Yang was drawing dead before the river.
