Klein Doubles Through Nguyen

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Scotty Nguyen opened to 65,000 from under the gun and Loren Klein, who was next to act, three-bet to 240,000. Nguyen called.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Nguyen checked. Klein shoved for 384,000 and Nguyen quickly called with a covering stack.

Scotty Nguyen: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Loren Klein: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}

Nguyen had the lead with his set of jacks and Klein needed help from the deck to survive. Although Nguyen retained his edge on the {9-Clubs} turn, the {A-Hearts} hit the river to give Klein a set of aces for the double-up.
