Costa Klings to His Tournament Life

Josef "Pepe" Klinger raised to 275,000 only for local boy Herve Costa to shove from the small blind, to applause from his buddies at the rail. Klinger, in keeping with the ongoing theme of this final table, asked, "How much?" The all in was counted, and was assessed to be 860,000 total. He dwelled up for a long time, contemplating his options, and eventually he called.

Costa: {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Klinger: {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}

Board: {9-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

The French contingent at the rail went crazy when the seven dropped on the turn, and once Klinger had failed to make a straight come the river, they cheered again for the double up.

Costa doubled to around 1.9 million. Klinger was left with 1.5 million.
