Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

It folded to Tom Fuchs in the small blind, who put in enough chips to put big blind Mateusz Moolhuizen at risk. Moolhuizen quickly called off his stack of 780,000, creating a showdown.

Mateusz Moolhuizen: A♣6♣ All in
Tom Fuchs: K♣Q♠

Fuchs shot ahead on the K♠4♥7♠ flop, and the 4♦ river was no help to Moolhuizen. Moolhuizen had already stood up and said goodbye to the table when the A♠ fell on the river, making him a higher pair to double up.

"There you go, just moan one in," Moolhuizen gleefully stated as he raked in the chips.

Alan Keating Runs Over the Table in PokerStars Big Game on Tour Return

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Elijah Farrow

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The return of the PokerStars Big Game on Tour could have been rebranded as The Alan Keating Show.

Keating won the first six hands in the $200/$400 no-limit hold'em cash game, pushing around the table from start to finish. But he wasn't the only winner at the table.

Luke Moy, the second Loose Cannon of Season 2, had never bought into a poker game for more than $400, but he didn't play scared. He was staked $100,000 to face experienced high rollers, including Keating, Jason Koon, Lex Veldhuis, poker vlogger Alexander "Wolfgang" Seibt, and comedian Morgan Jay.

In the last hand before the players were sent on a break, Ioannis Oikonomidis raised to 120,000 in the cutoff. Martin Bartos then moved in for 1,195,000 on the button, and Oikonomidis called after a careful count.
