Ashley Sleeth raised to 25,000 from middle position receiving a call only from Michael Pearson in the big blind.
Flop: 
Both Sleeth and Pearson checked the flop and the turn 
.
After the 
river, Pearson built the anticipation for a moment before announcing that he was all in. Sleeth asked the dealer, "Did he say all-in?" Immediately upon getting confirmation, Sleeth called.
Pearson showed his 
for kings full of eights but Sleeth's 
gave her aces full of kings for the best hand.
As Sleeth stacked up her new chips, the neighbor to the left gave his thoughts, "Somehow I knew. Somehow I just knew you had aces there!"
