"I haven't looked yet," Fishman said as he turned over his hole cards. "Oh my God! I swear I didn't look," Fishman said, surprised to find himself with three cards to a wheel.

Lin drew badly on fourth and fifth street and ended with a king, which was no good against Fishman's eight — eliminating Lin in 15th place.

Alan Keating ‘Got Outplayed’ in WSOP Heads-Up Event; Wants to Face Negreanu

Level 17

Ante: 3,000
Bring In: 5,000
Completion: 15,000
Limits: 15,000-30,000

Alan Keating had an opportunity to prove to the high-stakes tournament grinders — notably, Daniel Negreanu — that he can hang in their arena. But the Hustler Casino Live fan favorite bowed out in the second round of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship on Friday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Keating, known primarily for his high-stakes cash game appearances, has over $200,000 in career WSOP earnings but hasn’t recorded a WSOP cash since 2013. Recently, he’s been publicly challenged by several high-stakes pros—including Negreanu — to step outside the comfort of the private cash game scene and compete against the game's elites.

It seems Negreanu was on Keating’s mind when he registered for the event. When PokerNews caught up with him and asked about his motivation for playing, Keating said, “It’s a heads-up tournament, and I saw Negreanu was on the list,” adding that he thought to himself, “Alright, here’s my chance to find him in his streets.”
