This week, the Super High Roller Cash Game, organized by PokerGO at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, began. Among the players present, we find great figures of televised cash games, such as Sam Kiki
Alan Keating, the most dangerous man in poker
Although Keating is known for his good performance in these types of games, this time luck was not on his side, and he ended up losing one of the biggest pots played so far this year.
The action began with Keating opening for US$10,000 with A 9, to which Elamawy responded with a 3-bet for US$50,000 with Q Q. Kirk Brown, sitting on the button with A K, decided to call, as did Keating.

The flop showed 10 6 2, and Elamawy continued with a bet of US$125,000. Brown wasted no more time and decided to fold, while Keating decided to try a risky play, raising to US$450,000. Elamawy didn’t hesitate and called with everything he had left in his stack, going all-in against Alan.

The players decided to see the rest of the board twice. On the first run, a 3 and a 2 came out. Then came the 7 7, and in this way, Sameh Elamawy took the pot of US$1,053,500. Alan Keating was left with a considerably damaged stack, although he managed to recover a little in subsequent hands.
