Klein's Big Slick Doesn't Hold Up
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Bill Klein: 
Opponent: 
Bill Klein was on the big blind, facing limpers from middle position and the small blind. Klein raised to 3700, and the player in middle position called.
The flop came out 
, and Klein went all-in, having his opponent well covered. The short-stacked player had 11,000 left behind and made the call, and saw that his middle pair was in bad shape against Klein's pair of aces.
The turn came a favorable 
for the opponent, however, and the trip queens held up on the river 
.
