Josh Saltz:
"It's okay," said Keeline. "There are a lot of nines in the deck," he added. He would need none, instead flopping a straight on and fading the backdoor Broadway draw that Saltz picked up while finished the runout.
"Well, that wasn't fair. But I enjoyed it," said Keeline with a laugh as his stack was matched by Saltz and the pot was shipped his way.

Vincent Griboski opened the action with a raise to 2,600 in early position and Steve Le Peau three-bet to 6,000 in the hijack. Steve Wilkie cold-called in the cutoff and Griboski came along as well.
The three saw the flop come and Griboski checked to Le Peau, who went all in for about 28,000. Wilkie called all in for less and Griboski folded.
Steve Wilkie:
Steve Le Peau:
Wilkie's set of jacks was ahead of Le Peau's pair of tens and open-ended straight draw, the latter of which became moot as the turn gave Wilkie a full house. Le Peau was then left with one shot at hitting a jack or a ten for the knockout, and neither came on the river to earn Wilkie the double and a bit more.
