Kling's Card-Dead Day Sends Her to the Rail

Lauren Kling
Lauren Kling

Lauren Kling couldn't seem to get anything rolling since the beginning of Day 2 and her stack was slowly blinded and ante'd away until she was critically short.

In her second-to-last hand, the under-the-gun player opened for 4,100 and action folded around to Kling on the big.

"This is unreal," she said, in reference to her cards. "I have four-high."

Kling decided to muck.

"Mathematically it was probably the right call..." she added.

With just 3,200 left, Kling put in the small blind. An early position player opened for 4,100 and was called by the player on the button. Kling decided to commit her remaining stack and pushed all-in. The big folded.

Both active players checked down on the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop as well as the the {Q-Hearts} turn. However, when the {3-Spades} landed on the river, the original raiser pushed all-in and his opponent folded after some deliberation. He tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} for a set of aces and Kling mucked - ending her tournament life.
