Keating Sends Kim to the Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With around 35,000 in the pot and a flop of 2♠K♠8♣, Alex Keating was in the tank from the hijack debating what to do as Hyunsup Kim, who was in the cutoff, had moved all in for 23,500.
Keating eventually made the call and the hands were turned up.
Hyunsup Kim: 7♣7♦
Alex Keating: 8♦9♦
Keating was ahead with a pair of eights and that improved to two pair on the 5♥ turn. The 5♦ river was no help to Kim and he hit the rail.
