Level 14:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining:  448 of 2,482

With the final board showing and about 70K already in the pot, Alex Keating bet 50,000 from the small blind, and Shawn Cunix went into the tank in the big blind with about 70,000 left behind.

After a while, Keating said something to Cunix about his hand, but Cunix said he didn’t believe him. Cunix carefully studied Keating a little longer, and Keating appeared relaxed and jovial, as he often does.

Cunix asked if Keating would show his cards if Cunix folded, and Keating nodded. Cunix folded face up for two pair, kings and tens.

Keating showed one card — the for a full house — to prove that Cunix made the correct fold. Keating took the pot.

Alex Keating  –  250,000  (50 bb)
Shawn Cunix  –  70,000  (14 bb)
