Allen Kennedy is having a nicely-timed rush here as we approach the break.

In the first hand, Kennedy was all in for a little over 90,000 against Mike Terhaar. Kennedy held {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

, and Terhaar {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. The board came down {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

, and Kennedy survived with about 180,000. Terhaar was crippled in that hand, and busted soon thereafter.

Just a couple of hands later, Kennedy was all in again with {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

and was up against Farshad Fardad's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

. The flop was {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

and the turn {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

, and Kennedy was down to one more community card. Then came the river -- the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

-- and Kennedy is up to 390,000 now.
