Linster Extends the Lead

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Michael Linster limped in the small blind, and Michael Klein checked his big blind option. Linster led out for 500,000 on the A34 flop, and Klein made the call.

Both players checked the 3 turn, and action repeated on the A river.

"King-high," said Linster as he tabled K5 to take the pot as Klein mucked.
