Overview
- Keating's Day 1 highlight came against Doug Polk when he called a river shove with 4♠2♠ to win a $657,200 pot in the $200/$400 game with an $800 straddle.
- The hand began with Polk raising to $4,000 holding K♠7♠, Justin Gavri three-betting A♥J♥ to $20,000, and Polk four-betting to $75,000 before firing flop and turn bets and jamming $137,000 on the river.
- Commentators praised the call on-air as Polk reloaded, with reactions describing him as “fuming” and Keating as the most compelling player to watch on televised poker.
- On Day 2, Keating bluffed off a $1,295,000 pot to Sam Kiki after calling a turn check-raise and shoving the river with 4♦3♠ on Q♠5♣5♥9♥2♠ into Kiki’s trip fives with A♦5♦, the show's second-largest hand.
- Keating had joined the lineup late on Day 1 with $500,000, surged early to a quick profit as the table swelled past $4 million in chips, and PokerGO ran a second livestream the following day at 4 p.m. PT.
