They’re the words of high stakes cash game player Alan Keating after scooping a massive $1.2 million pot on Hustler Casino Live last night.

The pot came days after an external investigation found “no evidence of wrongdoing” during the infamous Jack-Four hand, and barely a fortnight after the fake naked breasts scandal during an episode of ‘Max Pain Monday’

After rivering a flush, Keating called a shove from opponent Handz to scoop the eye-watering amount, in what may turn out to be the largest pot in poker live stream history.

“I Just Got It In” says Keating

“Maybe if I had a smaller flush, do I fold? But yeah, I just got it in”

After the hand, Hustler Casino Live interviewed Keating who said that he felt bad for Handz.

“I love his shove with the ace,” he said. “It’s a pretty awesome move [and I] respect that.

“Maybe if I had a smaller flush, do I fold? But yeah, I just got it in.”

Keating said that after betting the river, he thought it would be interest if Handz shoved.

“Then when he did I was like ‘Ok well, maybe I should have thought about that further!’ I had the king-high flush, I’m not going to act like I had some brilliant thinking — just call.”

Reaction to the Hand

Following the hand, many poker fans took to twitter to call Keating a “legend” or some similar sentiment.

Fellow cash game player Andy Stacks tweeted that “many poker players are now going to have second thoughts before making that naked ace bluff shove.”

Keating himself had similar words of warning to players, with the aforementioned bug and windshield analogy.

Twitter user @SteveLeoni said that he “couldn’t believe” what he was watching, calling LA streams “the BOMB!” while @ChrisSlickPoker called it an “easy call” for Keating, but conceded that Hands had heart for his shove.
