Following a raise on the button from Doug Polk, Alex Keating responded by moving all in with a covering stack, and Polk called off for roughly 70,000.

Doug Polk: J♠J♣ All in
Alex Keating: J♥8♥

The 4♥4♦6♠ flop looked safe for Polk, but the 5♠ turn provided the obligatory poker sweat. The river was worse yet for Polk, as the 7♥ improved Keating to a straight.

"I'll be in the parking lot, my favorite place to be," Polk said as he headed to the exit.

On a neighboring table, Christopher Nguyen overcame Samuel Mullur to progress to Round 2.
