"Good Raise, Buddy"

Jonas Klausen raised from under the gun, and Sean Mullaghy called from the button. Thanhdat Tran then reraised all in for his last 200,000 or so from the big blind. Klausen responded by shoving his big stack (about half a million) in over the top, and Mullaghy thought about it for just a few seconds before folding, showing his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} as he did.

"Good raise, buddy," Mullaghy told Klausen afterwards, once the other two players' hands were revealed. That's because Klausen had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and Tran {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

The board came {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and Klausen knocked out Tran in 29th place. Klausen is now the new chip leader with 780,000.
