Slay Secures Double-Up
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Stephen Freeman raised to 50,000 in middle position and was called by Vikrum Mehta in the hijack. Big blind Kelley Slay then put in his stack of 370,000, folding out Freeman.
Mehta, however, made the call with the covering stack, putting Slay at risk.
Kelley Slay: J♠J♦ 
Vikrum Mehta: 6♣5♣
Mehta flopped a pair on the 5♥Q♠3♠ flop, and turned a gutshot with the 7♠. The 8♠ river provided no further help, however, seeing Slay double up to 33 big blinds.
