Keating Back in the Mix
Level 19
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
As action picked up on the turn with 37,000 in the pot, Sam Soverel was facing a bet of 26,000 from Alex Keating, when Soverel decided to raise all in on a 8?J?6?7? board. After doing a quick count of his stack, Keating made the call.
Alex Keating A?J? 
Sam Soverel J?9?
Soverel had top pair and an open ended straight draw but would need to improve on the river to knockout Keating. The board was completed with the 10? on the river, giving Keating the double up with his top pair, top kicker, and back within striking distance of Soverel, raking in the 279,000 chip pot.
