Keeline Gets There to Double; Mader Joins Field

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ben Keeline wagered an unknown amount after his opponent checked to him from the small blind on a board of {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The small blind raised to 4,000, and Keeline shoved all in for 13,800. The small blind quickly called.

Small blind: {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Keeline: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Keeline had been caught jamming a draw, but the river was the sweet {5-Diamonds} he needed to survive, much to the disappointment of the small blind, who had gotten it in with the nuts. He was forced to double Keeline up.

At another table, Phil Mader has taken a seat. The Nebraskan is an accomplished tournament player, sporting more than $300,000 in cashes. He gained considerable exposure after playing a prolonged period at the TV table during last year's Main Event, where he held his own against the likes of Phil Ivey on the way to a 43rd-place finish.
