"That is an Insane Beat"

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

After Scott Aitchison opened for 50,000 on the button, Thomas Keeper moved all in for roughly 280,000 from the small blind. Ryan Rivers then moved all in over the top from the big and Aitchison folded.

Keeper: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Rivers: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

"That's not a good flop," Keeper said when the flop fell {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. "That is though," he added when the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}. It seemed so as it gave Keeper a flush draw, but it was a mute point as Rivers had made a full house.

At that moment the {4-Hearts} slammed down on the river. It took a moment for everyone to realize what happened — quads was on the board and Keeper's ace played!

"That is an insane beat," Keeper exclaimed. "That's why you do a deal."
