Kessler Finds a Double Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We came to the table as Allen Kessler had put his chips in the middle preflop and got one caller. The two players flipped their cards and it was a classic race situation.

Kessler: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Kessler survived to double up to around 6300.
