Keating Hits the River to Bust Dato
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alex Keating raised to 8,000 in the hijack before Andrea Dato shoved for his last 27,000 in the cutoff. "You must be really strong," Keating said before calling.
Andrea Dato: A♣J♣
Alex Keating: Q♥9♣
Dato made two pair on the 2♣2♠J♠ flop and remained in the lead on the K♥ turn. The river, though, was the Q♠ and Keating improved to a better two pair as Dato let out an expletive before making an exit.
"Don't laugh at me. You have a problem? You were rooting for an ace to come. That's how vengeful you are. You just want to see me hurt," Keating joked with table neighbor Alexander van der Swaluw after the hand.
