Klein Doubles Through Proulx

In the last hand of the level, Miguel Proulx raised to 120,000 from the small blind, and L.J. Klein called from the BB. The flop came {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Hearts} . Proulx checked, and Klein bet 240,000, leaving himself about a half million behind. Proulx announced he was raising pot, and Klein called with his remaining chips.

Proulx {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}
Klein {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

An intriguing situation, in which Proulx's humble pair of fours were currently best. But the {9-Diamonds} turn gave Klein the straight, and the {2-Spades} sealed it.

Klein bounds back to around 1.7 million on that one, while Proulx slips back under 2 million. We'll get exact counts here in a second as the players are about to go on a 20-minute break.
