Klein's Quest For a Third Run It Up Reno Main Event Title Gets an Early Boost

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

After the full {7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} board was on the felt, a player checked from middle position. Loren Klein bet 12,500 on the button, and his opponent called, only to muck after Klein showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

"Is that how you win tournaments?" a player asked Klein. Klein responded with, "Sets help."

Klein, a four-time WSOP bracelet winner, also owns two Run It Up Reno Main Event titles to his credit. In last year's Main Event, Dan O'Brien denied Klein his third Main Event title, but Klein looks to be poised to go deep yet again here at Peppermill Reno.
