Klodnicki Picks Up Chippies

Our PokerNews crew caught the action four-handed over on table 23 on a flop of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}; the small and big blind players checked to Men "The Master" Nguyen in the under the gun position. Nguyen also checked, and Chris Klondicki led out for 1,000 from the button.

The small blind called, but the big blind and Nguyen folded, making it heads-up to the turn of the {5-Diamonds}, which both players checked before the small blind led out for 2,100 on the river of the {10-Hearts}.

Klondicki called and the small blind showed {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, which was no good against Klondicki's {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.
