There was a huge pile of about 45,000 chips already in the middle and the completed board read {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} when we got to the table. Alex Keating was in the big blind and bet what looked like 27,000 into his lone opponent in the cutoff, sending him into the tank.

"Banker seven on board," said Keating with a smile.

"That's what I think you have: pocket sevens," his opponent replied.

Ultimately, the cutoff folded, and Keating decided to let him pick one of his hole cards to show. He flipped over the {10-Spades} as Keating scooped his newly-acquired chips.
