Keating Shoves Into Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andre Marques raised to 8,000 in middle position before Alex Keating three-bet to 23,500 in the hijack. Anthony Kennedy then made it 62,000 in the small blind and Marques tanked for a moment before folding.
Keating also tanked before gathering up his last 110,000 and sliding them into the middle. Kennedy snap-called.
Alex Keating: Q?Q?
Anthony Kennedy: A?A?
"Why didn't you shove. I would've folded," Keating joked with Marques as the flop came A?5?6?, giving Kennedy top set. The board ran out K?A? and Kennedy finished with quads to send Keating to the rail.
