Level 16: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Jordan Westmorland: K♠ K♥

Alexander Keating: A♣ J♣

The board ran out 9♦ 8♦ 5♥ 4♣ 2♥ busting Keating in the last level of the day.

William Goes Aggressive

Level 16: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

On the flop of 3♥ A♣ 7♠ , there were around 170,000 chips in the pot when Alexander Keating from under the gun checked to Teoh William, who bet 55,000. Keating dropped in the call.

A 7♥ hit on the turn, where Keating check-called again after William bet 75,000 to see the T♥ fall on the river. Keating kept his strategy and checked over, which William fired out 180,000 this time, sending Keating in the tank. Eventually, Keating elected to muck his hand.
