Lining Up for the Extra Point

Tim Taylor raised to 70,000 from early position and Brandon Cantu called on the button. Allen Kennedy reraised to 175,000 from the big blind and when Taylor called, Cantu moved in for over three million. Kennedy called, Taylor got out of the way, and Kennedy's {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} put him in good shape to double against Cantu's {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

And that's just what Kennedy did, as the board ran out {10-Spades} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. When the dealer put that final card on the felt Kennedy jumped up and yelled "Touchdown Georgia!!" and the man decked out in red and black and wearing a Bulldog baseball cap is now up to 2.78 million. Cantu fell to 2.5 million.
