A Keller Hand

A player under the gun raised to 600, the player next to act reraised to 2,200, and the button called. Then Thomas Keller made it 11,200 from the small blind.

The original raiser tanked a bit, then folded. His neighbor also considered the situation a while before letting his hand go, too. The player on the button then reraised all in for 17,675 total, and Keller made the call.

Keller showed {Q-Spades}

and his opponent {J-Hearts}

. The board came {10-Spades}

, and Keller won the hand.

Keller's opponent, having been eliminated, left the table. Meanwhile, discussion of the hand continued. The first raiser noted he'd had pocket jacks, too. The second player to have abandoned the hand said he'd folded pocket tens -- he would've flopped a set. Keller is now up to just over 80,000.
