Keating Pays Off Batbold

Josh Noy

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Zolbayar Batbold raised to 1,200 in the small blind only to be three-bet by Alex Keating in the big blind to 5,000. Batbold then slid in a four-bet of 13,200, which was called by Keating.

Batbold led out for 7,000 on the J?10?10? flop, with Keating calling to see the 3? turn. Another lead from Batbold was called, this time for 14,000.

The J? river saw Batbold commit the rest of his stack with a bet of 20,600. Keating took several minutes to arrive at a decision, ultimately making the call.

Batbold turned over K?K? to take down a massive pot as Keating mucked.

That left Keating with a very short stack, which he promptly doubled with pocket queens a short time later.
