Keller Holds Strong

We managed to catch up to the action to find Lyle Berman checking from the big blind on a {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. Action was then on Thomas Keller who bet out 4,500. Berman then raised and made it 22,0000 and Kellar moved all in for 57,825. A call was made and both players tabled their cards.

Keller: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}
Berman: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Keller was ahead for now with his top pair of tens as well as an open-ended straight draw to boot. Berman however could hit a king, an eight, or running flush cards to take the hand for himself. The {6-Clubs} turn gave Keller the straight, but it also gave Berman a straight draw. A river {a-Diamonds} sealed the deal and Keller doubled up with his ten high straight.
