Chen Puts Keating In the Blender
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alex Keating raised from the hijack and James Chen defended in the big blind.
Chen elected to check-call a bet of 3,000 from Keating on the A♥6♦8♣ flop.
The J♣ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Keating sized up to 14,000.
The 10♣ river saw Chen play out of flow, leading for 30,000. Keating went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before finally making the call.
Chen tabled J♥8♦ for two pair, which was enough to send Keating's cards into the muck.
