The 
finished off the community cards, putting a straight on the board. After about 30 seconds, Seiver announced that he was all in. Suddenly, Klein was put to the test for his tournament life of about 1.95 million. He took a deep breath and slid forward a call.
Seiver rolled over 
and Klein showed

"Good call, Bill," said Antonio Esfandiari. "Everybody knew he was moving in on the river 100% of the time."

Seiver now has about 2.6 million and Klein has 2.62 million.
