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: AJ All in
Michael Stansell: JJ

Stansell needed to dodge an ace or some clubs to send Kay for an early shower.

However, the 9A10 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.
