Keikoan Advancing

[user66118]

In middle position, Matt Keikoan opened to 1,800, and he found action in two places. The big blind would check and fold on the flop, and Keikoan continued out with 3,600 in the {4-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} . The gentleman in postion called the bet, and it was heads up to the {8-Spades} turn. Keikoan loaded again and fired another 7,600 into the pot. His opponent had about 28,000 total, and he eventually shoved them all in. Keikoan asked for the count, but he called as the dealer was still cutting down the stacks.

Showdown
Keikoan: {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Mr. Opponent was drawing dead to two outs, and the river {2-Diamonds} was a blank. Dragging that knockout pot, Keikoan climbs his way past the century mark to about 110,000.
