Ross Bybee
Ross Bybee

Ross Bybee raised under the gun to 16,000, and Alex Keating called from his direct left after which Paul Vas Nunes called in middle position, and Nick Yunis completed from the big blind.

The flop brought out {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}, and all four players checked. On the turn, the {5-Diamonds} hit and Bybee bet 23,000 after Yunis checked. Keating called, then Vas Nunes and Yunis folded. The river brought out the {8-Hearts}.

Bybee checked to Keating, who bet 80,000 and the former proceeded to move all in for 285,000 on top.

Keating went into the tank for several minutes before the clock was called on him.

Keating thought for a bit longer, sighed, then in the dying seconds opted to make the call.

Bybee tapped on the table and showed the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and Keating raked in this massive pot with the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.
