Klier Rivers the Straight

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

In middle position, a player opened to 1,300 and Paul Ephremsen called on the button. In the big blind, Ben Klier made it 7,000 and Ephremsen was the only one to call.

Then on a {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop, Klier bet 5,000 and Ephremsen called. The turn was a {j-Clubs} and Klier put Ephremsen at risk for his last 11,000. Ephremsen called.

Paul Ephremsen: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Ben Klier: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

With the set of fives against top pair, Ephremsen was in good position to double up, but the {k-Hearts} river gave Klier a straight. Ephremsen was eliminated, while Klier is back to the starting stack.
