Klein Declines to Call

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bill Klein opened from the hijack and Vinny Lingham called on the button before Vladas Tamasauskas three-bet to 24,000 in the big blind. Klein folded and Lingham called.

Tamasauskas continued for 11,000 on the flop of 510J and Lingham called. Tamasauskas then checked on the 8 turn and Lingham bet 25,000. Tamasauskas called.

Both players checked on the 4 river and Lingham showed QJ to win the pot with a pair of jacks.
