The flop had both players enthused, but Keating took a more cautious approach and checked. When the pot reached $5,000, he checked-raised to a hefty $35,000. Arcot, still chasing a straight flush, called to see the 3β₯ pair the board on the turn.
Keating was still in the lead, so he took advantage by betting $60,000. Arcot, who missed his draw and was stuck on six-high, couldn't resist the allure of the massive pot. He fired out a bet of $529,000, sending Keating into deep contemplation. But, with his hand remaining the strongest, he made the hero call and took down the $1.6 million pot, leaving Arcot in the dust.

Keating has demonstrated such adeptness in high-stakes poker games that he's been called upon as an expert in his field. He displayed this prowess in a notable hero call during the recently concluded Season 14 of High Stakes Poker.
The hand in question began with a bet from Steve with 8β 6β£ and a call from Peter Wang with 6β 3β . Keating, holding 9β¦7β¦ in the big blind, joined the fray.
The board brought the action to a boil with Aβ£7β Kβ , giving both players something to work with. Keating checked, and then Steve, who flopped nothing, bet $4,000. Peter went for a raise to $13,000 with a flush draw. Keating, who only hit bottom pair, re-raised to $41,000, and Peter took the bait.
The 6β₯ turn escalated the pot significantly after improving Peter's hand. Keating made a bet of $58,000, and his opponent clicked back a raise to $175,000. Despite the pot's mammoth size, Keating remained strong and called.
The 4β₯ on the river didn't change either hand. Both players were stuck on small pairs with no cards left to come. Keating checked after some deliberation and faced an all in bet of $235,000. He went into the tank for a tense 10 minutes before making the correct call, taking down the massive $911,000 pot in High Stakes Poker history.
