Chop For Lay

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded around to Geoffrey Lay in the small blind who shoved his whole stack in the middle. He was snap called by Stephen Falcon in the big blind and was behind Falcon's {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Lay was holding {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

The board came {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Lay was drawing incredibly thin. Fortunately for him, the turn and river came {10-Diamonds} and {A-Diamonds}, giving both players aces and tens with a nine kicker. Lay was on thin ice but has been given a second chance in this tournament.
