Kay Spikes an Ace to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Brian Kay committed his 150,000 chips into the middle from the cutoff and was called by Michael Stansell from the small blind.
Brian Kay: A♣J♣
Michael Stansell: J♠J♦
Stansell needed to dodge an ace or some clubs to send Kay for an early shower.
However, the 9♣A♦10♠ flop catapulted Kay into the lead with top pair. No one-outer arrived for Stansell on the 5♠ turn or Q♣ river, and he had to send around half his stack over to Kay.
