Level 25
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised to 1,200,000 on the button and Bill Klein defended from the big blind. The flop came J?8?3? and Klein check-called a bet of 1,000,000 from Sturm.
The turn was the 6? and Klein just jammed all in for 13,700,000. Sturm asked for a count and then made the call to put the cards on their backs.
Bill Klein: 8?5?
Leon Sturm: Q?J?
Klein flopped a pair of eights but it was no match for the pair of jacks from Sturm. The river was the 2? and Klein was unable to improve, being eliminated in second place.
