Keeline Wakes Up With Aces

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Ben Keeline
Ben Keeline

Sherman Wu raised to 2,000 in early position and was called by a player on his direct left. Roman Mai called in the hijack as well before Ben Keeline three-bet to 9,600 in the small blind. Wu then four-bet to 17,200 and the player on his left five-bet jammed.

"How much is that?" asked Keeline. The dealer counted a total of 24,700 and Keeline matched it with Wu verbalizing a call behind.

Both players checked the flop {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and the turn came {j-Clubs}. Keeline reached for a stack of chips and set it onto the felt, prompting Wu to ask for a count that was totaled to 36,000. Wu folded.

"Am I dead?" asked the all-in player as he showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Keeline tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

"I'm not dead!" exclaimed the player, seeing he had one shot at a two outer to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, it did not fall as the river {6-Hearts} completed the runout and scored Keeline the pot of roughly 75,000.
