Two Pennsylvanians Tangle at Table 499

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Richard Ali, who in January took down a WSOP PA Circuit event for his third Circuit ring, was out of position in a heads-up pot against fellow Pennsylvanian Joe McKeehen on a board of {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Ali checked and called a bet of 1,000 from McKeehen. Ali checked again on the {2-Hearts} turn and the 2015 WSOP Main Event champ checked back.

Ali checked again on the {a-Spades} river and McKeehen bumped his fist on the table for a check. Ali turned over {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, which was good to win the pot.
