It's Good to Be Kennedy

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}{10-Diamonds}, and Terhaar {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. The board came down {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-Diamonds} and was up against Farshad Fardad's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The flop was {J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the turn {8-Hearts}, and Kennedy was down to one more community card. Then came the river -- the {K-Spades} -- and Kennedy is up to 390,000 now.
