Kessler Keeps on Truckin'

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Allen Kessler and another player ended up all in preflop with Kessler's {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} ahead of the other player's {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The other player took the lead after the flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} but the turn and river brought the {6-Clubs} and {6-Spades} to give Kessler trip sixes and the win.

The other player was sent to the rail while Kessler's stack grew to 8,000.
