Keranen Up Over 300,000 After Big River Move

Kyle Keranen raised it up to 4,800 preflop from early position and was re-raised by Huy Nguyen on the button to 14,500. Keranen made the call and the two saw the {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop.

Keranen checked to Nguyen who bet out 14,000 and he called.

The turn came {4-Hearts} and both players checked.

The river came {k-Diamonds} and Keranen again checked to Nguyen who bet out 15,000. Keranen re-raised all in and Nguyen went into the tank. After at least five minutes, Nguyen eventually folded.

As Keranen raked in the huge pot Nguyen said, "I'll pay you $50 to show what you had.... $100?"

Keranen responded, "I can't man... it was a huge pot I just can't." Nguyen will be left guessing as he falls to just 60,000 and Keranen shoots up to our likely chip lead with 320,000
