We Have Our Final 9, Or We Should Have

MarcC

Douglas Young was all-in for his last 2,000 chips and he had to get past Alex Keating who raised from the cut off and Ian Johns who called from the BB.

The flop came {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{5-Spades}

and Keating then bet Johns out of the pot to make it heads up. Young tabled {3-?}

{3-?}

{3-?}

to Keating's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. The turn came {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and river

{6-Clubs}

to keep Young in this.

Ian Johns said he passed pocket fours and would've eliminated Young if Keating hadn't bet. Some scathing looks were aimed at Keating who defended his actions by say "I thought I was going to hit a king!"
