After a nail-biting three-session run at the 2025 Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Game, Keating outplayed a familiar adversary with a bold hero call, bagging a hefty $1.6 million pot.
Playing on a High Stakes Level
The high-intensity game kicked off slowly, but Keating's entrance injected adrenaline into the competition, marked by a series of remarkable plays, starting with an enormous pot weighing in at the highest stakes of the week.
Action initiated with Arcot raising pre-flop to $6,000 with 6♦5♦, and Keating, holding 8*♥4♣, decided to play along from the blinds. The 4*♦8♣3♦ flop brought two players' dreams alive.
Keating checked his two-pair hand but opted for a sneaky check-raise to $35,000 as Arcot's open-ended straight flush draw emerged. The 3*♥ turn paired the board, giving Keating triple-ups on two-pair. Keating bet $60,000, but Arcot countered with a massive $230,000 raise, only to witness Keating's call. The A*♠ river was no more than a scare card for both players, but it gave Keating a reason to ponder. After a tense 10-minute think, Keating made the hero call and claimed the mega-pot, leaving Arcot reeling.
Keating's Poker History
Keating, a seasoned professional, has a knack for making critical decisions that result in pot-crushing victories. This time, he recalls a strategic moment from a recent High Stakes Poker episode, Episode 6 of Season 14 on PokerGO, when he took on Steve and Peter Wang.
The game got intense when Keating, holding 9♦7*♦, made a bold call against Steve's $235,000 all-in bet on a river with no pockets pairs and no additional cards to come. Keating's call sealed a jaw-dropping $911,000 pot, setting the record for one of the largest pots in High Stakes Poker history.
Luck hasn't always been on Keating's side, though. Last Monday, he lost a $1.9 million pot to Peter with queen-high. Despite these ups and downs, Keating remained in the green, bagging around $800,000 over the course of the Million Dollar Game.
