McKeehen Bombs the River
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action was opened under the gun to 12,000 by Luigi Santaro. It folded to Joe McKeehen in the cutoff who called and the rest of the players folded.
The A♦6♠Q♦ flop hit the felt and Santaro led for 10,000. McKeehen called.
The 9♠ landed on the turn and Santaro led again for 30,000. McKeehen called.
The river brought a 5♠ and Santaro slowed down and checked. McKeehen gathered some chips and bet out for 75,000. Santaro thought it over and eventually folded. McKeehen dragged a pot right before the stone bubble.
