Keating Survives on the River
Livello 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Johannes Verhagen raised to 27,000 in middle position and Terry Vlastos called on the button. Alex Keating then moved all in for 69,000 in the small blind, Verhagen reshoved, and Vlastos folded.
Alex Keating: K♦J♦
Johannes Verhagen: J♠J♥
The 7♣8♠3♣2♦ board left Keating needing only one of the three remaining kings in the deck to avoid elimination, and he found one as the dealer turned over the K♠ on the river.
"Yes! Sorry," Keating yelled out as he apologized to Verhagen.
"Don't write that down. I'm embarrassed," Keating added.
