Keating Gets Knocked Out
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In the final hand before the break, three players were already on the A♦9♦8♦ flop, with Alan Keating already all in on the button. The pot stood at around 50,000 and action was on Jeffrey Zigulis in the big blind.
Zigulis moved all in for his remaining 155,200, and action went to William Leffingwell to either call or fold. Leffingwell asked "How much is it?" before saying "You know I have you covered right?".
Leffingwell took around a minute before folding, leaving the players to go heads-up to showdown.
Alan Keating: K♠Q♣
Jeffrey Zigulis: 8♠8♥
Keating needed to find help on the runout to remain in the tournament, but missed on the 9♣ turn and 7♦ river, sending him home at the end of the first level of the day.
