Keating Surrenders

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
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.

Landon Tice opened to 22,000 from the hijack before Christopher Puetz three-bet to 66,000 from the cutoff. Alex Kulev four-bet jammed for 195,000 from the button. Tice folded while Puetz called.

Alex Kulev: AxQxAll in
Christopher Puetz: K♦9♦

Puetz paired up on the 9x7x3x3xXx runout to bust the Bulgarian. Kulev then reentered.

As that hand finsihed, on another table, Gregory Jensen was all in and at risk to Santhosh Suvarna. The chips got in on the J♦5♦4♥ flop, with Jensen holding A♠A♥. Suvarna had a flush draw with his K♦8♦.

The 6♣ turn was safe for Jensen but Suvarna made the flush on the 3♦ river to bounce back up above the starting stack.

Keating Bored Already?

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♣ All in
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.

Chance Kornuth had been registered for the $100,000 High Roller since the start of the day but was nowhere to be seen until now.

The Chip Leader Coaching co-founder has finally taken his seat and finds himself in tough company, sharing a table with current chip leader Emilien Pitavy, defending champion Chris Hunichen, and high-stakes regular Alan Keating.

Frankland Survives

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Stephen Chidwick, and seeing a short-stacked Mathew Frankland in the big blind, he raised to 30,000. The small blind got out of the way, and Frankland moved all in for roughly 60,000.

Chidwick called, and the players turned their cards over.

Mathew Frankland: A♦J♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: Q♦Q♠

The deck favoured Frankland on this occasion with the board running out A♣7♠8♦8♠J♦, giving him two-pair and a double up.

Ramiro Salinas raised from under the gun to 20,000, Matthew Belcher called as next to act, and when the action reached Ben Heath in the small blind he went all-in for roughly 700,000. Salinas called for around 320,000 and Belcher folded.

Ramiro Salinas: 3♦3♠ All in
Ben Heath: 9♦9♥

Salinas could not improve on the 10♣8♥8♦7♣4♠ board and was sent to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Emilien Pitavy raised before seeing a three-bet by Taylor von Kriegenbergh. Pitavy responded with a four-bet, to which von Kriegenbergh returned in kind with a five-bet shove for roughly 380,000. Pitavy snapped, and the cards were revealed.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♠K♠ All in
Emilien Pitavy: A♣A♦

A nasty situation for von Kriegenbergh, and when he was unable to find any help on the 9♥2♣8♣6♠10♥ board, he headed to the rebuy desk.

There were roughly 150,000 in the pot on a flop of J♦6♣2♠. Seth Davies who was under the gun checked to Chance Kornuth who bet 45,000, Davies decided to raise to 120,000 and Kornuth called.

The 8♥ hit the turn, and Davies checked. Kornuth kept up the pressure with a bet of 100,000, and Davies quickly folded.
