Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Bill Klein
Bill Klein

Joining the action on the river the board read {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Bill Klein was in early position.

Klein bet 17,000 when checked to. His opponent was the big blind who said "You got pocket jacks? I can't beat that. I can't beat aces."

The big blind eventually made the call in which Klein turned over {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a straight. His opponent was frustrated and showed {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for three-of-a-kind but it was no good as the chips moved in Klein's direction.

Barry Chipping Up

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

In a three-way pot to the {5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, a player in the big blind checked so did Stefan Jauslin in middle position. In the hijack, Matthew Barry bet 3,200 and only Jauslin made the call.

The {2-Clubs} turn is checked again by Jauslin and Barry bet 6,000. Jauslin thought about it, and called. A {6-Hearts} completed that board, and after a third check from Jauslin, Barry decided to quickly check back also.

Stefan Jauslin showed {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} but Barry had {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for top pair and the dealer pushed the chips in his direction.
