Keating Makes the Right Call
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a board of 3♥6♦3♣A♦ and with around 100,000 chips in the pot, Alex Keating checked the turn, Federico Butteroni bet 35,000, Keating min-raised to 70,000, and Butteroni called.
The river brought a 10♠ which Keating led out on for 35,000. Butteroni raised to 80,000. After some time thinking it over, Keating dropped in the call.
Butteroni tabled 8♣6♣ for a pair of sixes, but Keating flipped the winner with A♥7♥ for a pair of aces.
