Keating Gets His Revenge
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
For the second hand running, Alex Keating got to showdown without all of the community cards having been dealt. He raised to 105,000 in the cutoff, and Guillermo Sanchez Otero shoved for a little under 700,000. Keating said, "I'm gonna do to you what you did to me." He feigned checking his cards before slamming down some chips to indicate a call.
Guillermo Sanchez Otero: A♠J♣
Alex Keating: Q♠Q♣
Alex Keating continued to talk as if he'd already won the hand, as the board ran out 10♠10♣K♣7♠8♣ and he eliminated his adversary. Keating cleared up the confusion for the table, saying that Sanchez Otero had bust him 50th in the Main Event last year, and he had finally got the chance to turn the tables, albeit on a slightly smaller scale.
