Alex Keating

Biography

Alex Keating is an American professional poker player and a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner.

Originally from California, Keating logged his first Hendon Mob cash overseas with a ninth-place finish in an event at the 2008 Aussie Millions Poker Championship. In the decade since then, Keating managed to rack up over $3.3 million in live tournament earnings.

In 2016, Keating finished third in the $10,000 World Poker Tour (WPT) LA Poker Classic for $423,890. The same year, Keating finished 35th in the WSOP Main Event for $216,211.

At the 2023 WSOP, Keating won his first bracelet by taking down Event #94: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em for a career-best $701,688.

“I’m thinking about what I’m supposed to do right now," Keating told PokerNews in the moments after winning the elusive bracelet.
