On that hand, Chris Eubank raised, prompting a call from Ninja and Neymar, who held 9-C, 5-H. Keating then three-bet to $5,000 with his A-D, 4-D, and everyone called to see the Q-D, 9-D, 2-C flop.
Neymar flopped a nine, with Keating holding a nut flush draw. Keating bet $10,000 before Eubank folded, while both Neymar and Ninja called. After the 6-S on the turn, Keating pushed all in for $74,400. Ninja folded, and Neymar made the quick call holding second pair.
After seeing Neymar’s pair, Keating asked to run the river twice. The first river was the 3-D, securing half the pot for Keating. The second was the 5-C, giving Neymar two pair to split the pot. However, Keating wasn’t finished with the hand and asked Neymar, “Wait…wait…you want to do one more card for [$50,000]?”
Neymar agreed and shouted for a black card before the Q-H gave him the win. Incredibly, they would end up running the river another five times for almost $360,000, with Neymar winning every flip to decimate Keating’s stack.
“Neymar is the flip god…,” declared commentator Christian Soto. “He stacked Keating in flips!”
Neymar finished as the big winner, taking home $306,000, while Keating ended the night down $478,850 as the biggest loser.
