Greg Raymer checked an 
flop from the small blind over to Robert Keeling in the big blind. Keeling simply moved all in to put Raymer at risk for 225,000, an overbet of the 90,000 currently in the pot.
Raymer tanked for a few minutes, while Keeling took a sip of his beer, then eventually called the clock. Raymer called a few seconds into the countdown.
Greg Raymer: 
Robert Keeling: 
Keeling needed an ace, jack or eight to burst the bubble, but the 
turn and river gave a big double to the former WSOP Main Event champ.
