Klein Takes from Linster

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Linster opened to 250,000 in middle position, and Michael Klein defended his big blind to see the 2QA flop.

Klein checked to Linster, who continued for 200,000. The call was made, and Klein checked again on the 5 turn.

Linster fired 600,000 into the middle, and Klein called once more. Both players then checked down the 4 river.

"Ace," said Klein as he tabled A9. That was good enough to earn the pot, as Linster sent his cards into the muck.
