Alexander Keating Eliminated in 18th Place ($8,850)
On the first hand of play, Jeff Shulman raised from the hijack and Alexander Keating made it three bets from the small blind. Shulman called as the players saw a 
flop and Keating led out. Shulman made the call and Keating led out again when the 
hit the turn. Shulman came back with a raise this time which Keating just called. On the 
river, Keating check-called Shulman’s bet.
Shulman showed 
for the nut boat while Keating threw over 
in what was a pretty sick hand to start the day to cripple Keating.
Two hands later, Dmitry Gromov raised in early position and Keating three-bet him on the button leaving himself with only 100 behind. Gromov just called but put Keating all in on the 
flop. Keating made the call and was in the lead with 
against the 
of Gromov. The 
on the turn was safe for Keating and gave him a flush draw but the river was an offsuit 
to give Gromov two pair and eliminated Keating.
