Klein Chops it Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, the hijack seat check-called a bet from Loren Klein on the button. The action was the same on the {K-Clubs} turn, where the bet was for 12,000. On the {9-Spades} river, both players checked. The hijack announced, "Ace high," and turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Klein slowly showed his {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for the same hand, and the players chopped the pot.

On the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, Ivanov checked, and the button bet 2,100. Ivanov responded with a raise to 7,700, and his opponent folded, which brought Ivanov to the 100,000-chip mark.
