Give the Lead to Klein

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Geffrey Klein doubles up
Geffrey Klein doubles up

Geffrey Klein limped in from the button and then Eddie Blumenthal raised to 135,000 from the big blind. Klein made it 550,000 from the button after limping and then Blumenthal moved all in. Klein called to put himself at risk.

Klein: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Blumenthal: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The flop came down with an eruption: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Blumenthal had taken the lead and needed to dodge two more cards to grab the bracelet.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and there was only one more card to come. A queen or a king would give Klein the double up and that's what Blumenthal was looking to dodge.

The river card was dealt and the {Q-Hearts} hit the end of the board. Blumenthal swung his arms and stomped his foot in frustration as Klein celebrated with his fans after spiking the queen to double up. Klein is back to 4.9 million now and Blumenthal slipped to 3.7 million.
