Neymar Named “Flip God” as he Buries Alan Keating for $370,000

Footballing legend Neymar stacked Alan Keating for $370k but it took eight river cards to do it – Keating trying again and again to hit his flush draw with no success.

The incredible hand played out at Hustler Casino Live’s ‘Legends on the Felt’ cash game at the weekend, Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. and HCL reg pro Keating joined by an all-star cast of celebs.

Self-styled King of Instagram and misogynist-extraordinaire Dan Bilzerian was there, as were boxing stars Chris Eubank Jr and Ryan Garcia, and gaming streamer Ninja

All watched on as the most bizarre hand you’ll have seen this year played out, the initial pot a fairly-low (by HCL standards) $50k when Keating decided to shove his monster stack of almost $350k on the turn.

Neymar: 9♣ 5♥

Keating: A♦ 4♦

Ninja: K♦ 10♣

Board: 9♦ 2♣ Q♦ 6♠

Ninja got out of the way with his gutshot, but Neymar – holding second pair – called for his last $75k , making the pot $200k, with Keating asking to run it twice.

River 1: 3♦

River 2: 5♣

Chopped pot and no story, right? Wrong!

Keating now decided to go flip-crazy, offering a $50k rabbit hunt for another diamond – one that would ultimately cost his $370k and change.

Amid cries of “Black!” from Neymar, the first three runs saw $100k side-pots, $50k apiece…

River 3: Q♥

River 4: J♥

“There’s diamonds in there, right?” Keating asked the dealer jokingly, but he’d still be asking four hands later…

River 5: J♣

“We’ve gone this far, we can go one more!” bumping up the side-pot to $150k, to no avail…

River 6: 2♥

“This one’s for $60k,” announced Keating, rapidly running out of chips…

River 7: 8♠

“Ok, I’m all-in,” stated Keating in a last-ditch attempt to mine a diamond from the pack. A “sweat with Keating” moment ensued as he peeled back the card, with half the table on his shoulder…

River 8: 10♠

With just $25 left, enough for an Uber to the ATM to reload, Keating joke-staked it all on a hilarious final joke to a memorable hand, before exiting the game.
