Klatt Sends Speranza on the Rail
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Andreas Klatt won a bracelet at the 2017 World Series of Poker in Europe and a few days later, Gianluca Speranza finished second in the Main Event at the very same location at King's Casino in Rozvadov. Both ended up on the same table on Day 2 here in Melbourne and just clashed with almost identical stacks.
Speranza defended his big blind against a raise by Klatt and check-called a bet on the 
flop. On the 
turn, Speranza checked again and Klatt bet 10,000. After some consideration, Speranza check-raised all in for 41,000 and Klatt called with the slightly superior stack.
Gianluca Speranza: 
Andreas Klatt: 
The 
on the river was a blank and the Italian was left empty-handed.
