Arends Falls to the Short Stack
Level 23
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised to 800,000 on the button with A♣4♥ and was called by Bill Klein in the small blind with Q♣7♣ and Jans Arends in the big blind with Q♦10♣.
The flop came Q♥6♥3♠ and the action checked around to the Q♠ on the river. Klein checked again and Arends announced a bet of 800,000. Sturm stepped aside but Klein just called.
The river was the 7♥ and Klein led out with a large bet of 4,100,000 after making a full house. With no time extensions for Arends, he had to make a quick decision and paid him off. Klein tabled the full house and vaulted to a big chip lead.
