Big Blind Special from Keating Sends Nasreddine Out
A flop of 8♠6♥2♣ was spread across the felt with around 500,000 in the middle already. Alex Keating checked from the big blind and Gytis Lazauninkas also checked in middle position. Rania Nasreddine tossed in a bet of 275,000 from the hijack and Keating check-raised to 950,000. Lazauninkas stepped aside but Nasreddine quickly called.
The turn was the 5♥ and Keating used a time bank before shoving all in for roughly 5,000,000 effective. Nasreddine wasted little time before calling off her stack in what turned out to be a massive pot.
Rania Nasreddine: K♥K♣
Alex Keating: 8♥6♠
Keating flopped two pair to take the lead on Nasreddine's pocket kings. The 3♠ on the river bricked out and Nasreddine looked for a payout while Keating stacked a mound of chips.
