Sturm Pulling Ahead
Level 25
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised to 1,200,000 on the button with 5♣2♣, and Bill Klein defended from the big blind with J♣4♣. The flop fell A♣7♥4♦ and Klein check-called a bet of 700,000 from Sturm.
The turn was the 9♦, and Klein tapped the table again. Sturm sized up a bet of 3,200,000 this time, and Klein sent his bottom pair into the muck.
