Keating Takes One From Mckellar
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Three players saw the turn on the board of 6?6?7?5?. The small blind checked, Alex Keating made it 75,000 from the big blind. Pierce Mckellar called in early position, and the small blind folded.
The river was the 3?, and Keating moved all in. He had Mckellar covered for an effective bet of about 240,000. Mckellar struggled over the decision for his tournament, smilingly staring down his opponent over the uncomfortable four-to-a-straight board. He ultimately folded and later commented he really did not like the river, while Keating claimed he loved it.
