Pouchain Pushes, Karr Wrecks, Klein Concedes
Mike Sowers opened with a raise to 2,900 from UTG and Bill Klein -- whom some may recall from his appearance on the most recent season of "High Stakes Poker" -- called from one seat over. McLean Karr, sitting in the cutoff, then set his remaining 15,500 before him, reraising all in.
It folded to Julien Pouchain in the small blind who checked his cards, then announced he was reraising all in over the top. Sowers got out, and after a great deal of thought Klein folded as well.

The board came , and Karr is out. At the sight of that third club, Klein winced, eventually revealing to Pouchain that he'd folded .
"If you knew what I had you would have folded," said Pouchain, and the retired businessman nodded in agreement, perhaps in the knowledge that fortunes are more readily made via sound decisions, not fretting about what might have been.
Klein currently sits with about 46,000, while Pouchain has moved up over 195,000.
