Slay Chips Way Up with Back-to-Back Aces
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.

The board ran out 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.
