Keating Pays Off Batbold
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Zolbayar Batbold raised to 1,200 in the small blind only to be three-bet by Alex Keating in the big blind to 5,000. Batbold then slid in a four-bet of 13,200, which was called by Keating.
Batbold led out for 7,000 on the J♥10♥10♦ flop, with Keating calling to see the 3♠ turn. Another lead from Batbold was called, this time for 14,000.
The J♠ river saw Batbold commit the rest of his stack with a bet of 20,600. Keating took several minutes to arrive at a decision, ultimately making the call.
Batbold turned over K♣K♦ to take down a massive pot as Keating mucked.
That left Keating with a very short stack, which he promptly doubled with pocket queens a short time later.
