Elias and Hunichen Put a Hurt on Klein

Level 1 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Picking up the action in one hand with a completed board of {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Bill Klein and Darren Elias were heads-up in a pot with nearly 200,000 in the middle already. Klein checked to Elias who used one of his time banks before checking it back.

Klein flipped over {a-}{10-} for two pair but Elias flopped a straight with {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to rake in the pot.

On the next hand, David Peters opened to 5,000 in early position and was called by three players. The flop came {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the action checked to Hunichen in the cutoff who bet 27,000. Klein called from the big blind and the other two players folded.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Klein shoved all in for his last 90,000 chips. Hunichen called and turned over {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} which had Klein drawing slim with {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The river was the {a-Spades} and Hunichen held on to eliminate Klein in the opening level.
