Alex Keating Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,900)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mark Burford raised to 200,000 on the button and Alex Keating shoved all in for about 1,800,000 in the small blind. Action came back to Burford who got a rough count and called.
Alex Keating: K♥J♥
Mark Burford: 9♥9♦
The two were off to the races as the 10♥10♠5♦ flop kept Burford ahead to the 3♣ turn. Keating needed a king or jack to survive, and although paint came on the river, it was the Q♣ to eliminate him in ninth place for $34,900.
