Klein Snatches Back the Lead!

Eddie Blumenthal just can't seem to catch a break, because despite all that hard work, Geffrey Klein has managed to double up again to take back the chip lead!

Klein raised to 170,000 from the button, but Blumenthal reraised to 500,000 straight from the big blind. Klein came back with a four-bet of 1.1 million, Blumenthal shoved and Klein snap-called.

Blumenthal: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Klein: {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}

"Queen one time!" yelled a railbird from the rail. No dice - instead, Klein hit his pair on the flop of {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. The turn of the {4-Diamonds} changed nothing and the repeat {K-Spades} on the river improved Klein to two pair. Blumenthal stormed away from the table, cursing under his breath and shaking his head, perhaps wondering why in H-E-double-hockey-sticks are the poker gods are being so unkind right now.
