Ollie Garland

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 2,200, the hijack called, as did the cutoff and the small blind. Bill Klein, in the big blind, put in a squeeze to 11,100 and only the original raiser called.

The K♦4♣10♥ flop saw Klein move all in for 27,800. The player under the gun made the call.

Bill Klein: A♠Q♠ All in
Under-the-Gun Player: K♣Q♣

Klein was behind the top pair of his opponent, but the A♣ turn saw him take the lead. The 3♠ river couldn't improve Klein's opponent and he doubled up.
