Big Double for Klodnicki
In the last hand of Level 23, Chris Klodnicki raised to 40,000 from the button and only Edward Pham called from the small blind.
The flop came monotone — 
— and Pham led with a bet of 50,000. Klodnicki made it 120,000, then Pham paused before announcing he was all in, and Klodnicki called in relatively short order.
Pham: 
Klodnicki: 
No hearts anywhere, but two pair for Pham and top set for Klodnicki! After Pham's repeated success with pocket aces earlier, it was Klodnicki's turn to make them work for him.
The turn was the 
and river the 
, and Klodnicki carries a lead into the break with all three players fairly close in chips.
