Ace Queen

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Jim Keating
Jim Keating

Jim Keating is sitting with a good stack at 34,500. He had an interesting experience involving ace queen on the last two hands.

On the first hand, Keating bet 6,000 on the river and was called by former HPO Champ, Gurney Goldman, who held ace, queen. Gurney's ace high was good enough to beat Keating's king high.

On the next hand, Keating saw the flop with three other players after he limped under the gun. The flop came {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades} and all four players checked.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} and Keating bet 800, and the three remaining players folded. Keating turned over {a-}{q-} for a full house.

Mike Sites, who was sitting to the Keating's right.

"You got nothing and someone calls you, then you flop a good hand and no one calls you. Does that bother you?" Sites asked.

"Not really," responded Keating, "does it bother you?"

"Yeah!" Sites said as the two players laughed and the next hand was dealt.

The Jefferson Acorn

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jim Jefferson was down to his last 2,025 and he went all in. Phil Vera did the honors of doubling Jefferson up. Vera called with {k-}{j-} against the {9-}{9-} of Jefferson.

Vera flopped a king and it looked like the rail for Jefferson, but a {9-} on the river save his tournament life and earned him the double up.

Jefferson clapped his hands together once as the nine hit the felt.

"What was that?" a player said, surprised that the nine came.

"A blind hog finding an acorn," Jefferson said in reply.
