Matt Keikoan

Second to act before the flop, Matt Keikoan raises to 10,000. Action is folded around to Brent Roberts in the cutoff, who moves all in with a covering raise. Keikoan makes an instant call, all in for 79,100 total. The cards are turned over:

Keikoan: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

Roberts:

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

The flop comes {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

, and the

{9-Clubs}

on the turn gives Roberts additional outs to the open-ended straight.

The river pairs the board though, {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

, and Keikoan doubles up with his overpair to the board. He is now up to 172,000, while Roberts is crippled with just 21,000.
