Keating Busts Black
Following that last hand where Alex Keating picked up a chunk of Andy Black's chips, it was to be an unfortunate end for the Irishman not long after.
The flop read when we arrived and Keating had bet out 4,500 from the cutoff. Black made it 20,000 on the button, and then swiftly called all in to Keating's three-bet.
A real cooler here:
Black: for trip jacks, top kicker
Keating: for a full house
Turn:
River:
"YESSS!" said the clearly very excited Keating, pushing his chair back as he did so and only narrowly avoiding a disaster with a waitress carrying a tray full of drinks.
"Well done," said Black rather curtly, and took his leave.
Keating improved to 170,000 with that, and seemed very pleased about it too. "S***," he said, giggling. "S*** this is cool. S*** this is so cool."
