Taylor von Kriegenbergh, who won the 2011 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open for more than $1.1 million, is sitting with a mountain of chips, and he was kind enough to tell us about two big hands that helped boost his stack by 100,000 each.

In the first, he held  Kx Kx and a series of raises saw two opponents get it in with  Kx Jx and  Qx Qx. The board ran out clean and that was von Kriegenbergh’s first big pot.

The second was fairly similar in that von Kriegenbergh, who held  Ax Kx, got it in against opponents who held  Ax Qx and  8x 8x. An ace appeared and von Kriegenbergh claimed another six-figure pot.
