$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 6: 200/400/50
Players: 474
This past summer, Ben Keeline, a down-on-his-luck poker pro, went from driving for Uber in his home state of Colorado to winning the 2016 World Series of Poker $565 Colossus II for $1 million. It was one of the “feel good” stories of the summer.
Keeline, who will be taking his first trip to Europe to play poker later this month, was here at SHRPO looking for more success, but he’s not going to find it in this event as he was just eliminated in the last hand of Level 6.
It happened when Greg Spinder opened for 1,000 from middle position and Keeline jammed for 8,400 from the hijack. The rest of the field folded and Spinder snap-called.

The flop gave Keeline a little help, but he needed more to stay alive. The turn wasn’t what he was looking for, and neither was the river.
Greg Spinder – 30,000
Ben Keeline – Eliminated
