With the betting capped preflop, Mike Thorpe bet every street of the
board (he actually bet all in in the dark on the river) -- and dreadfulness of all dreadfullnesses, his was by that point absolutely no good against Danny Qutami's . Ouch.
Hellmuth raised from UTG and Keating three-bet from late position before the call was made to see a
flop. Hellmuth bet, was raised before he reraised back and was called. The turn saw the rest of the chips go in and both players turn over monsters:Hellmuth --
for a set.Keating --
for top pair and nut flush draw.It all came down to the river.....
!!!Boom for Keating as he takes the lot and eliminates his foe in the mean time and collects a 300,000 stack as well.
