A nine on the turn though saw him double up. Soon after that his won a flip against and went on to win a big three-bet pot hero calling with sixes on a board reading .
With plenty of chips to play with now Killeen opened under the gun for 13,000 and picked up calls from Alexander Trevallion, Herold and Mickey Petersen in the big blind. The flop was checked around so they saw a free turn card . Killeen made it 23,000 and it was Herold who would be the only caller. They both checked the river and it was the of Killeen that would hold sway.
