Hand #93 - Matt Keikoan

Carter Gill has the button in seat 4 and he raises to 170,000, most of his remaining stack. Matt Keikoan and Shannon Shorr both call. All three players head to the flop. Gill has 12,000 remaining. The flop comes {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {4-Hearts}. Keikoan bets 100,000 and Shorr calls. Gill tosses in his last 12,000 creating a side pot between Shorr and Keikoan. The turn is the {2-Clubs}. Keikoan bets 350,000 and Shorr folds. Keikoan wins the side pot and he and Gill showdown:

Keikoan: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Gill: {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

The river comes the {4-Spades} , missing Gill's flush draw and eliminating him in 3rd place. He lets out a dissapointed smile, and heads toward the payout area to collect his $228,897 consolation prize.
