One Down

Paul Keesey opened with a raise to 1,500. Thomas Braband made the call, and Nick Binger put in a re-raise, making it 5,500 straight. When it came back to Keesey, he moved all in for 40,500. After taking a moment to consider, Braband made the big call, having Keesey covered. Binger flashed {A-?} {K-?} and got out of the way.

Showdown
Keesey: {A-Spades} {3-Spades}
Braband: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Keesey was caught with his hand in the cookie jar a bit, but Braband would still have to fade five board cards. The dealer ran them out {6-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts}, and the kings held. With that, Paul Keesey becomes the first player busted here on Day 2.
