Klinger Confuses Perrins

[user46392]

Matt Perrins raised for a slighty-more-than-minimum 105,000 under the gun and Josef Klinger was the only caller.

Perrins bet out 130,000 on the {K-Hearts}

flop and Klinger called before both players checked the {7-Spades}

turn. Perrins checked again on the {6-Hearts}

river and now Klinger bet 350,000. Perrins counted out the call, studying Klinger's face for a reaction as he did so, but eventually folded.

After the pot had been pushed over to Klinger, he claimed he'd had {Q-?}
