Defending Champion Loren Klein Eliminated
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Loren Klein will not be repeating his performance from last year in this tournament when he won it all for $241,427. Klein started the day short and was seated in the big blind when Ivan Naumov opened to 3,000 in late position. Klein three-bet to 9,600, more than half his stack, and Naumov called.
On the 
flop, the rest of Klein's chips went in.
Loren Klein: 
Ivan Naumov: 
Klein needed the board to pair to survive, but the 
on the turn and 
on the river didn't help the defending champion.
