Lonis Doubles Through Klein
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 3,500 from the cutoff with Morten Klein calling on the button, and Derk van Luijk defending his big blind.
After Van Luijk checked the 7♠9♠K♦ flop Lonis bet 5,500 with both Klein and Van Luijk calling.
Both Van Luijk and Lonis checked the 6♣ turn. Klein bet 22,000, Van Luijk folded, but Lonis check-shoved for 36,500, and Klein called.
Jesse Lonis: K♠5♠
Morten Klein: K♣J♣
Both players had top pair but it was Klein who was ahead with the higher kicker. Lonis did have a lot of outs going to the river, and when the 3♠ came on the river, Lonis improved to a king-high flush and doubled up.
