Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

With the chip counts practically even now, the action in this heads-up battle between Eddie Blumenthal and Geffrey Klein has slowed up dramatically.

Earlier, Blumenthal raised to 125,000 and Klein checked before the dealer spread the flop of {3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}. Klein bet out 100,000, but folded after Blumenthal popped it up to 275,000.

In the very next hand, Klein limped in and Blumenthal checked to see the flop of {6-Spades}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, then check-folded after Klein's bet of 75,000.

A few preflop-raise-and-folds later, Blumenthal limped in from the button and Klein checked his option in the big blind to go to the flop of {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Klein bet out 75,000 and Blumenthal folded.

Blumenthal is looking a little unsettled since that big double-up, while Klein is no longer chewing on his shirt collar and sitting up a lot more in his seat. This is turning out to be an epic heads-up battle!
