Klein Doubles Through Dyer

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Dyer opened for 24,000 under the gun and Bill Klein shoved for 90,000 on the button. Dyer called and tabled {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, with Klein showing {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

"I hope you come in a real close second," Klein said.

Dyer did come in second as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, so he missed his flopped flush draw.

Three players saw an {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop for the minimum and Ben Yu check-shoved all in for about 90,000 when Sam Soverel bet 15,000 and the third player folded. Soverel quickly called with {a-Spades}{j-Spades} and Yu showed {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The turn was a {q-Hearts} and the river a {9-Spades}, so Yu hit the rail.
