"Garrett Greer Takes More From Alex Keating."

[user20283]

Nível 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Alex Keating is an interesting character, and easily the most talkative player left in the tournament. Just now he won a sizeable pot from Garrett Greer, but not before commenting on the hand and recapping it for our reporter on the scene.

The action started with a raise from Keating to 50,000 from the under-the-gun plus one position and Greer called from the big blind.

The flop brought out and both players checked. On the turn the hit and Greer bet 65,000, Keating called.

The river brought the and this time Greer bet 205,000, and Keating started his monologue. Keating said, "I'll write the update for you, 'Garrett Greer takes more from Alex Keating'," Keating said.

Keating went on to explain the entire hand in detail before ultimately making the call.

"Your flush is good," Greer said, before Keating showed for a flush.

Greer flashed for a straight and he lost a big chunk of his stack.
