Keating Fills Up to Put a Bad Beat on Templeton
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, John Templeton got his last 260,000 in the middle as Alex Keating put him at risk.
John Templeton: A♦J♥ 
Alex Keating: A♥2♣
Templeton had Keating dominated and was poised for a bubble double-up as the flop came 10♣3♦A♠, giving both players top pair. Templeton was still ahead with his jack-kicker, but Keating spiked the 2♥ on the turn to take the lead. The river was the 2♦ and Keating improved to a full house as the unfortunate Templeton stopped to snap a photo of the board before heading for the rail.
"I think we all learned not to f**k with me on the bubble," Keating said.
