Sebesta Cracks Keating's Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Alex Keating raised to 2,400 on the button and Edward Sebesta three-bet to 5,200 from the big blind. Keating responded with a four-bet to 23,200 and Sebesta five-bet jammed all in for 139,500. Keating snapped him off and the cards were tabled.

"Let's watch this hand," Chance Kornuth said from the opposing match at the table.

"It's not over til it's over," John Smith chimed in as well, as they looked on.

The flop came KJ3 with the jack in the window to vault Sebesta into the lead. The 9 and 5 runout was not enough to save Keating as he now faces a huge uphill battle.
