Double or Nothing for Kessler

Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Allen Kessler showed up to the tournament today with two suitcases full of stuff. He checked out of his room this morning, possibly a bit pessimistic about his bottom-of-the-pack chip count at the start of the day. It didn't take long for him to get his money in.

From middle position, Kyle Bowker opened to 5,000, and Kessler three-bet all in for 39,700 from the big blind. Bowker called with {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, and Kessler was flipping for his tournament life with {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}.

Board: {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Clubs}

That's safe for the "Chainsaw", and he's doubled to 82,800 with those pocket jacks. Bowker is now the short stack with just about 30,000 left.
