Arends Falls to the Short Stack
Level 23
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised to 800,000 on the button with A?4? and was called by Bill Klein in the small blind with Q?7? and Jans Arends in the big blind with Q?10?.
The flop came Q?6?3? and the action checked around to the Q? on the river. Klein checked again and Arends announced a bet of 800,000. Sturm stepped aside but Klein just called.
The river was the 7? and Klein led out with a large bet of 4,100,000 after making a full house. With no time extensions for Arends, he had to make a quick decision and paid him off. Klein tabled the full house and vaulted to a big chip lead.
