"Back In the Game"
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ilia Pavlov opened to 20,000 from early position. Then Alex Keating in the cutoff moved all-in for 43,000 chips. Steve O'Dwyer called in the big blind, but he folded after Pavlov four-bet all-in.
Alex Keating: A?K?
Ilia Pavlov: 9?9?
"Dinga Yessah!" Keating exclaimed when he hit a pair on the flop K?4?6?. He was still very expressive on the turn J? and the river 7?, which gave him a triple up.
"Back In the game," he said, before taking the pot.
