Alan Keating Makes Brilliant Call to Win $900K Pot on High Stakes Poker

Alan Keating Makes Brilliant $911K Call on High Stakes Poker

The sixth episode of High Stakes Poker Season 14 provided non-stop action, including Alan Keating’s impressive $911,000 call that commentator Nick Schulman described as “one of the coolest hands I’ve ever seen.”

The episode began with Peter winning a $175,400 pot against Vinny and David after flopping kings full. But the real fireworks started when Keating faced a tough decision holding 9-7 on a 4-heart river against Peter’s 6-3. With over $900K in the middle, Keating made an insane hero call after Peter shoved, reading his opponent for a bluff.

“It’s my favorite hand because neither of us have much, but we made a game of chicken out of it by putting pressure on each other and no one backed down,” Keating told PokerNews.

The $911K pot was one of the largest in High Stakes Poker history, though not the official record. That belonged to Santhosh Suvarna’s $992K win in Season 13 – until this episode.

Peter and Keating would chop an even bigger $1,120,200 pot after getting all-in preflop with A-Q versus Q-Q on a Q-K-Q flop. While massive, the chop means this pot likely won’t count as the official largest.

Other key hands saw Peter win $297,400 after rivering a king to crack Keating’s aces and Feldman’s two pair. And the opener featured Peter’s kings full holding against Vinny’s A-Q and David’s nines.

With massive pots and incredible calls, Episode 6 exemplified the nosebleed-stakes action that makes High Stakes Poker a can’t-miss for poker fans.
