Klein Gets Paid on the River
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 140,000 in middle position and Loren Klein defended in the big blind.
The flop of 8♦8♠7♥ checked through to the 5♦ turn, where Klein led out for 100,000. Lonis called and the river fell the 5♥, where Klein led out again, this time for 325,000.
"I'm not good enough to fold a straight," said Lonis, flicking in the call.
Klein tabled A♦9♠7♣7♦ for the full house, and the pot was pushed his way.
