Kleiner's Stack Grows Bigger
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Fabio Kleiner made it 2,400 to go in late positon. Raoul van Wersch flicked in a three-bet to 6,400 in late position, which Walter McMahon cold-called on the button.
Kleiner also tossed in calling chips, and the trio saw a flop of 9♣10♣J♣. It checked to McMahon, who fired a bet of 6,000. Kleiner called before a slightly puzzled Van Wersch decided to muck his cards.
The 2♥ turn then checked through to the A♥ river. Kleiner assembled a tower of chips as he slid 18,400 into the middle. McMahon took some time, but ultimately decided he could not fold and called off.
Kleiner showed K♣Q♠ for a flopped straight, and McMahon tabled 10♦9♦ for two pair as he saw his chips shipped across the table.
