Munteanu Triples on the River, Keating Takes Massive Side Pot Off Kluzak

What turned out to be one of the largest pots of the day began when Bogdan Munteanu bet 10,000 under the gun on a flop of 10♣4♠J♠.

Alex Keating called in early position before Josef Kluzak raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. Munteanu then moved all in for 55,000.

Keating asked the floor to come over and confirmed that Kluzak couldn't raise if he called before he put in the chips. Kluzak also called and the 8♦ fell on the turn.

Keating then bet 80,000 and Kluzak moved all in for 230,000. Keating snap-called and turned over Q♦9♦ for the turned straight.

Kluzak had 9♠8♠ for a pair to go with straight and flush draws, while Munteanu showed 10♥10♦ for a set. Keating was poised to scoop the entire pot and move up past 1,000,000 until the river brought the 8♣.

"Yes," Munteanu said as he unleashed a big fist pump after making a full house. He tripled up, while Keating won the massive side pot to bust Kluzak.
