Alan Keating Just Wants to Have Fun

It was the final break of the night of Day 1A of the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, and it was time for a color-up. Over on table 332, the players started shipping their small chips to the chip leader. But they weren’t shipping them to two-time WSOP Main Event final tablist Ben Lamb in the 2 seat.

No, the chip leader at this table was Alan Keating, the fan-favorite nosebleed cash game starter, star of Hustler Casino Live’s Million Dollar Game and 24-Hour stream, and arguably one of the most popular livestream personalities of the year.

The fact that Keating is the chip leader might come as a surprise to some, it may be equally surprising that he’s even playing a tournament at all. But in catching up with Keating it’s clear, he’s just here for a bit of fun.
