Keating Coolers Speranza Near the Bubble

Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas opened to 16,000 from the button and Gianluca Speranza moved all in from the small blind. Alex Keating also announced all in from the big blind, folding out Tamasauskas leaving Speranza all in and at risk against Keating.
Gianluca Speranza: A♥K♠
Alex Keating: A♦A♣
Speranza was far behind Keating's pocket-aces and remained so on the 5♠9♣9♠A♠2♣ runout, resulting in his elimination just shy of making the money while Keating collected a nice pot.
