Klein Hits Gutter; Takes Lead

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jeff Klein

Mike McKeever got it in with {j-}{8-} having made a pair on a {6-}{8-}{9-} flop. Jeff Klein made the call with {a-}{10-} for two overs and the gutshot.

Sure enough, the {7-} turn competed Klein's straight and as McKeever hit the rail, Klein pushed over and above 100,000 in chips, becoming the first player past that post.

Rick Block made it 3,000 and John Stempien called. The flop fell {a-}{q-}{j-} and Block continued for 7,300.

Stempien flatted and jammed in on the {5-} turn for 21,000. Block made the call with {a-}{k-} and was in great shape against Stempien's {q-}{9-}.

The river bricked and as Stempien hit the rail, Block chipped up to a spot near the top of the counts.
