Slay Chips Way Up with Back-to-Back Aces

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kelley Slay

Moments after finding a double, Kelley Slay was getting his chips right back into the middle.

Ryan Hohner raised to 22,000 from under the gun and Slay moved his stack in from the next seat over. Action folded around and Hohner tossed in chips for a call. Action was heads-up and Slay was at risk.

Kelley Slay: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Ryan Hohner: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the aces held to secure Slay his second double in as many hands.

PokerNews was drawn back to the table almost immediately to find Cheryl Parker and Ed Buker all-in with Kelley Slay as the caller with both players covered.

Cheryl Parker: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Ed Buker: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Kelley Slay: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and the aces held once again to give Slay the double knockout. Parker exits the tournament as the Last Woman Standing and Slay goes from 60,000 to over 500,000 in the blink of an eye.
