Keating Bored Already?
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Emilien Pitavy raised the hijack to 23,000, and Taylor von Kriegenbergh called on the button. Action was then on Alan Keating in the small blind, who had just lost a pot in the previous hand. Keating announced he was all in, saying, "I've had enough already", before suggesting that he was reacting to having just lost a pot.
Pitavy folded to the all-in, but von Kriegenbergh called.
Alan Keating: A♠8♣ 
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♣Q♠
Keating was at risk and dominated, but fortunately for him, the deck would cooperate, as the board came down 6♠4♠3♥8♥3♠, giving Keating an unexpected double-up.
