Keating's Sick Call Sends State to the Rail
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
As retold by Alex Keating:
Keating opened 2,000 on the button and Adrian State defended the big blind.
When the flop came Q♠8♣4♥, State check-called a bet of 2,500.
The K♥ hit the turn, and State check-raised Keating's bet of 3,500 to 12,000 and Keating called.
The 6♠ completed the board on the river, and State moved all-in for 53,000. Keating only had him covered by 100 and made the call. State tabled J♣10♦, missing an open-ended straight draw and Keating showed 10♣8♦ taking down the pot and eliminating State with a pair of eights.
