Lavelle Doubles Through Kelton

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

From the small blind, Jeffrey Lavelle raised to 300,000. In the big blind, Casey Kelton called and the flop came down {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Lavelle fired a continuation bet of 350,000 and then Kelton moved all in, having Lavelle covered. Lavelle snap-called to put himself at risk for 1.64 million. He instantly tabled the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and stood from his chair. His rail went into a frenzy cheering for him to double up. He was up against the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for Kelton.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river the {7-Diamonds}. Lavelle's aces held up and he was able to double through Kelton.
