McKeehen Gets Paid Off
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Picking up the action on the river, Joe McKeehen from under the gun was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind. With the board reading 
the big blind bet out 5,500. McKeehen, after a moment, raised to 13,000. That raise did not appear to sit well with his opponent who considered his options for some time. Eventually he made the call but mucked with a look of exasperation after McKeehen tabled
