Key Hands During Heads-Up Play

• Fighting Back: With blinds at 400,000/800,000, Keefer limped with 7♠5♠ and called a raise, then moved all-in on the turn with a board of 8♠5♣J♣, forcing Bill Acerra to fold and taking the chip lead at 14,000,000.
• Double Up: Keefer moved all-in for 7,300,000 with A♦8♣ against Fienberg's K♦10♥. The flop brought an ace, and Keefer doubled to 15,400,000.
• Chop Pot: In another hand, Keefer limped with Q♠8♠ and Fienberg checked with A♦2♠. The flop was 10♠9♠3♠, and both players got all-in on the flop. The turn and river ran out 5♣ and 8♣, resulting in a split pot.
• Final Hand: With blinds at 400,000/800,000, Fienberg raised to 2,900,000 on the button and Keefer moved all-in for 7,200,000 from the big blind with A♥9♣. Fienberg called with J♦J♥. The board ran 7♦6♥4♣J♣8♦, giving Fienberg two pair and eliminating Keefer.

Based on available hand histories, Keefer employs an aggressive, high-variance style. He frequently limps from the button and is willing to move all-in with marginal holdings, such as A-8 offsuit or suited connectors. He also shows resilience, fighting back from short stacks multiple times during heads-up play. His ability to read opponents is evident in his fold against a raise on a paired board.
