Derecho and Klein Chip up in a Chop
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Loren Klein raised to 100,000 from middle position and was called by Jesse Lonis in the cutoff. Emmanuel Derecho squeezed to 460,000 on the button and it was folded to Klein, who moved all in for approximately 1,150,000.
Lonis went deep into the tank, but eventually decided to lay his hand down after a few minutes, and Derecho called all in to put himself at risk.
Emmanuel Derecho: A♥5♦4♦4♥
Loren Klein: A♣A♠8♦5♣
Derecho was in need of help against Klein's aces, and the 3♥10♦2♠8♣4♣ runout improved both players to a wheel for a dramatic chopped pot.
