Keating Doubles Chen
Level 23
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Seated on the button, Alex Keating opened the action with a raise to 750,000 chips, which was called by Naji Tannoury in the small blind. Yuhang Chen then went all in in the big blind without hesitation. Keating quickly followed suit with his own all-in move, prompting Tannoury to fold. It was time for a showdown.
Yuhang Chen: K♦Q♠
Alex Keating: A♠K♥
The flop and turn appeared promising for Keating, showing 9♣10♠8♥5♠, with only a jack or queen needed to help Chen. Chen's wish seemed to be granted as the J♦ appeared on the river.
"There will be swings, they said" Keating remarked after losing a significant portion of his stack, indicating his determination to continue fighting in the tournament.
