Kling Keeps Killing 'Em on the River

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

In the first hand, a player in the hi-jack opened for 200 and was called by the button. Lauren Kling squeezed to 700 from the small and the original raiser immediately went all-in for his last couple thousand. The button folded but Kling called.

Kling: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts}....{10-Diamonds} giving Kling a straight on the river and sending her opponent to the rail.

On the very next hand. Kling opened to 250 from the button and both blinds called.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and the small donked for 275. The big folded but Kling decided to call.

Both players checked the {3-Clubs} and the {Q-Diamonds} river.

Kling's opponent tabled {8-}{8-} but Kling flipped over {K-}{Q-} for a rivered pair of queens and scooped the pot.

Kling is up to 8,000.
