Ben Keeline, who was fresh off a weeklong trip to Tokyo, late registered this tournament last night after coming from the airport. He managed to make it all the way to the final table before two back-to-back hands led to his demise.
In the first, he jammed the button and Bryan Robinson called off for 515,000 from the big blind.

The board ran out and Robinson doubled through. Keeline was left with just 100,000.
In the very next hand, Vincent Moscati raised to 100,000 under the gun and Keeline called off for 95,000. Ian Sylvester came along from the big blind and then check-folded to a bet of 100,000 on the flop.

Moscati:
Keeline was ahead with a set. The turn meant a queen would chop it, but it was the on the river that’d give both players a full house. Unfortunately for Keeline, his was second best.
Vincent Moscati - 1,450,000 (29 bb)
Bryan Robinson - 1,100,000 (22 bb)
Ben Keeline - Eliminated in 7th place for $14,558
