Keating's Third Pair is Good
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In the hijack, Alex Keating opened to 4,500 and called when Dorian Melchers three-bet to 17,000 from the cutoff.
Keating check-called bets of 11,000 and 32,500 and the flop and turn before the river checked through to showdown.
Keating's 9?8? was best on the K?9?6?10?5? board as Melchers mucked when his opponent tabled his hand.
