Keating Surrenders
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Emilien Pitavy opened in the cutoff to 25,000 and only Alan Keating called, defending his big blind.
The flop came 8♠K♦2♦ and Keating checked in flow. Pitavy continued for 17,000, which met immediate resistance as Keating check-raised to 60,000. Pitavy called, and the players saw a 8♣ turn.
Keating continued the aggression for 75,000, and Pitavy stuck around to see a river card.
That card was the 10♥. Keating hit the brakes, electing to check. This opened the door for Pitavy to take the betting lead back, doing so with a bet of 240,000.
Keating thought about it, but ultimately didn't take too long before folding.
