Thomas Keller Loses a Monster Pot

We caught this hand on the turn when Thomas Keller check-called a 4,100 chip bet on a board of {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

When the river brought the {A-Clubs}, Keller tanked before finally check-calling an additional 5,000. When his opponent turned up {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a set, Keller mucked.

At the end of the hand, he still has 26,000 in chips.
