It's Getting Hot in Here

[user127999]

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Tensions are rising as each pot takes on more significance.

In the meantime, the room was hushed as Kyle Badger just leapfrogged Mike McKeever on the chip counts.

McKeever raised it up and Badger defended his big blind going heads up to an flop. Both players checked and Badger checked again on the turn. McKeever led out for 35,000 and Badger flatted.

Badger checked again on the river, but when McKeever bet 100,000, he pushed all in.

McKeever scowled and folded.

Mike McKeever	190,000 -20,000	-20,000
