McKeehen Amps Up the Pressure
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded to Joe McKeehen in the small blind, and after a little consideration, he raised to 260,000. Jim Collopy, in the big blind, called.
McKeehen continued with a bet of 200,000 on the 10♥6♣5♣ flop and Collopy again chose to call.
A flush completing A♣ hit the turn, but McKeehen had no intentions of slowing down, continuing again for 500,000. Again, Collopy called in order to see one more card.
The river J♥ didn't do anything to slow McKeehen down either as announced "all in".
Collopy asked for a count, which confirmed that he was the shorter of the two stacks.
The counting McKeehen's stack had given him some extra time to think, though, and once he got the information, he folded.
