Grafton Puts Keating in the Blender
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Sam Grafton opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Alex Keating defended fro the big blind. The flop came 10♦7♦3♣ and Keating check-called a 5,500 continuation bet from Grafton.
Both players checked the K♦ turn leading to the 7♠ river. Keating bet 11,500 and Grafton moved all in, covering Keating who had just under 30,000 behind.
Keating went into the tank, burning through three time extensions. Keating finally opted to fold and Grafton took down a healthy pot without showdown.
